Minimum Pay for Food Delivery Workers

  I’ve been doing Uber eats for over a year now. I started in August of 2021. I like this job and especially the freedom to work whenever I like. Minimum pay won’t make things better for us because as soon as minimum pay becomes law, Uber eats, Grubhub and Doordash will turn into another Relay and we would have to deliver every order that the app sends us which means even orders that are more than 5 or even 7 miles away from the starting point. This would become impossible for bicycle riders and even ebike riders. I am against this proposal and I want things to be the way they are. I already make about 20$ an hour and I’m pleased.

  I have been doing food delivery for gig companies since Sept 2021. I agree on the minimum pay rule. The current NYC minimum pay is $15 dollars regardless of tip . Without tip, I can earn about $5 to $7 dollars an hour which is way less than the minimum pay law. Why do we have to add tip to match minimum pay when the law says We do not have to?And, let us do not forget all the expense related cars like gas, insurance, car depreciation and traffic violation fine. We really do not ask for a lotI appreciate the fact that the government took care of the hard working delivery men and is willing to listen to us.

  I’m curious to know why Grocery Shop & Deliver apps like Instacart and Shipt were excluded from the legislation. Those shoppers are independent contractors as well and held NYC down during the pandemic shopping and delivering groceries and household items right to NYC residents front door. Those independent contractors deserve to have some protection as well. I hope the DWCP focuses on those apps next!

  The companies DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats need to be held accountable for how they inappropriately compensate the individuals that work for them. These companies routinely exploit people that work for them chronically paying them a grossly inconsistent, lackluster wage that, is impossible to rely on. After engaging in work for all three of the mentioned companies for awhile now, I can say with complete confidence that NOBODY is consistently making a wage utilizing these apps. Anyone who claims to routinely generate $15+ per hour everyday is completely undermining the truth when it comes to the way these companies pay their delivery workers. Trying to engage in full-time employment with these companies is extremely difficult, as many people work a full 8-hour shift or longer to obtain a measly $50. That’s $7 per hour, and in NYC not even a single person can support themselves on such a meager income. This job comes with zero protections, absolutely no paid time off under any circumstances, regardless if you’re sick or not and are not able to work to fully recover. On UberEats, customers have the ability to revoke a delivery worker’s tip in the app when they’re enroute to drop off the customer’s food, which is wage theft and should be considered illegal. Imagine being told you’d be paid $15 for a delivery which includes a $10 tip only for the customer to revoke the tip when you’re on your way to drop it off. In the end, you’re getting $5, regardless of how long you had to wait at the restaurant or how far you had to travel! Bottom line, people would get their food faster if delivery workers would be paid a consistent, reliable wage because it would reduce the competition to choose certain deliveries over others, which is why the current system creates a plethora of unsustainability issues, leading deliveries that include a tip to be delivered first, which leaves the deliveries that do not include a tip to be delivered last, which is a lose-lose situation for both the customer and the delivery worker. Why? Because the customer waits longer for their food to be picked up and delivered, as well as the delivery worker being paid critically low, sometimes just $3 for trips going 2+ miles in any state of weather. We deserve a consistent, reliable wage that we can count on to pay our bills, as we are valuable to the contribution to the NYC economy. We face judgment and are looked down by many people, face the most unfair, diminished wages of any other group of workers in NYC, and are denied basic rights such as wage protection, bike insurance, and paid time off. A consistent, minimum wage that we can count on will satisfy both us and the customer, it is the COMPANIES that have to be held accountable and pay the bill, NOT us! It’s time for these multi-million dollar companies to pay up and start paying us a steady wage, as we have persevered and worked endlessly and thanklessly for penny change through the entire pandemic!

  This new rule will only end up hurting delivery workers. The Freedom that we have now will end. All of the companies will end up like another relay. You’ll be allowing these companies to treat us like employees but we are contractors. I like there freedom to work when I can. Yes the pay is low but there is flexibility. I understand some delivery drivers depend on this as there only source of income. Please give people the choice to work they way things are. And the new model you’re proposing. If the city council insists on rules. They should make these companies be more transparent with where the orders are going to. I’m tired of Uber and other companies showing us batch orders without relevant information. Give us the ability to block certain restaurants or filter orders based on price.

  Noooo, that’s impossible why they just work with the apps to improve a better window of time delivering the food, we don’t want that, if we wanted a regular job we get then but this would be a killer for a lot of people!

  Minimum Pay should not be raised until all Food Delivery Workers agree to:
  1. Obey traffic signals, and not go through an intersection when there is a red light;
  2. Stop riding on sidewalks;
  3. Turn on vehicle (bicycle) lights when it is dark (i.e., after Sunset).

  I support better pay for delivery workers, but this should be done by making the app companies take less in fees from the restaurants and give more to the delivery workers. Many people won’t be able to order delivery if they need it, and this includes the poor and disabled that sometimes have to rely on delivered items.

  One thing this rule, if you wish to pass it as a minimum rate, should come with is a mandate that these vehicles, including e-bikes, have to have license plates and insurance. This would both be deserving of the higher wage AND be safer for the public. These workers often ride on the sidewalk and cut corners with unsafe driving and there is currently no way to identify them if they drive on the sidewalk or endanger people. Walking down the street has become a game of dodge the e-bikes and scooters. It’s dangerous, and I’ve been nearly clipped and I have a friend who did get hit by an e-bike driver who drove off.

  If you pass the wage law, please also make it dependent upon these e-bikes getting license plates and insurance. The public will be safer and the workers will make more money.

  I believe that these minimum wage increases are a fantastic idea, but after the minimum wage increases to $23 an hour, it must be indexed to inflation to make sure it continues to increase. We should also have an additional maximum wage for people who deliver using mopeds or cars. They should be paid an extra $5 an hour to cover other expenses.

  As a delivery worker in the city I make well over $17 an hour consistently, from base pay alone I make a bit more than $15.00 minimum wage in NYC and if including tips Id make well over that. This minimum wage will only hurt the gig economy worker and basically forcing the delivery driver to accept any order at any distance given to them by the company, as well as incentives the gig companies like Ubereats Doordash, and Grubhub to not pay the their drivers a single cent more then what the minimum wage is regardless of trip distance, or weather conditions. Not to mention how customers will now not be incentivized to tip delivery drivers anymore because of the minimum payrate, which if happens would have a drastic effect on those who rely on said tips. As a gig worker I myself like may others enjoy the freedom and benefits of choosing when I like to work and what orders to accept when working. This is the joy of being a contractor, having the minimum payrate will basically make us employees. If id want minimum wage id get a regular job to guarantee me that, but myself like many others enjoy the benefits and freedom from the gig economy and that’s what I signed up for, not for minimum pay and order obligation. Also what about people who use multiple apps for work, how would you pay them? Will they get double minimum wage pay? How will that work? Its just too much, and will become a double edge sword for those who support this. To add on the group who is mainly pushing for this proposed wage is one group of people and do not represent the rest of the food delivery economy in New York City as a whole. Having already had success with laws implemented surrounding delivery workers rights with transparency of accepted orders and restroom access I’m not sure if we need this of if this will benefit us. I believe things are fine the way they are and nothing needs to be changed concerning pay for gig economy delivery drivers.

  I work for the city and since we haven’t received a salary increase I have opted to do deliveries after work.

  I like other people who use this as a second income enjoy the flexibility. I choose this because I didn’t want to work traditional hours after working A full time job.

  Per hour I might make less than the minimum wage. However, per shift from the time I log on and off it averages 20 dollars an hour or more.

  I fear that the Apps will mAndate shifts and force us to take whatever jobs they have. The flexibility will disappear.

  Also, I was wondering what happens after 2025? Will this be reevaluated?

  Lastly, I would have liked to see some additional pay for bad weather conditions.

  Working this job use to be great, but this past year has not been the best in terms of earnings… It’s like the amount of orders I received this year compared to last year has gone down a lot. Now, I know that many people do this job for flexibility but sometimes you have to sacrifice just a little bit to get protections, which is why I support this proposed rule.

  Let me explain. DoorDash and GrubHub already require people to schedule shifts, so that is honestly nothing new… If it’s not busy you can’t work on those apps, period. Not only that, but when it’s not busy, all you get are $3 and $4 orders on UberEats without any tip going really far, and people get desperate so they do those orders. That’s why we have this problem with the lack of pay, because people do those orders so there’s no incentive for these companies to stop using those tactics that screw the worker.

  I’m happy for people that are making a good amount of money, but this job isn’t truly what it use to be, and what about the people that aren’t no longer making how much they used to make? It’s not fair to them at all, which is why I feel it’s the right thing to do by stabilizing pay. Everyone who does this job and wants people to have a good experience deserves to make more money too.

  I started off doing deliveries on the weekends when it was busy, but these past few months not even weekends have been worth it anymore, with weekdays being even worse. Anyone with a good amount of experience on this job has learned that the only way you’ll easily earn at least $100 nowadays is if it’s raining like crazy or very cold outside. The warm weather climate nearly cuts this job to 0. This year, the months of April, May, August, and September were super difficult. Everyone was talking about how good the job use to be and how much things have changed for the worse.

  This whole independent contractor system is broken and just another way for the companies to pay people very low at the same time taking advantage of them by ensuring they have no rights. A way has to be figured out to address the issues with this job. If it’s not busy and we’re not getting many orders, people would be more likely to do those orders if they would receive a minimum wage. Not being paid for all the time waiting in between orders has to stop too. People have to understand that “flexibility” shouldn’t justify working in conditions where you’re clearly undervalued in an industry that makes so much money everyday and refuses to pay you any higher for your hard work regardless of how long you’ve been working there. If this job is working for you that’s great, but there’s a lot of people that need the help that this rule will put into effect. This job use to be great in the past until the companies started getting super greedy and slashing everyone’s pay. Before saying the you are against this rule, ask yourself: 1. Has the fact that I had to schedule shifts on this job significantly affected my ability to earn so much that requiring me to schedule led me to leave this job? (As far as I’m concerned, you could be required to schedule shifts to work and if you don’t show up, nothing happens, right? That right there is the true essence of flexibility, that you won’t be fired for not showing up.) If you answered no to question 1, then you most likely left because your pay was steadily going down the hill. 2. Am I making anywhere as much as I use to working the same amount of hours? If I’m not, how many more hours am I looking at to bring it to that level? If your answer to question 2 is no, and you can’t afford not to take a single day off to make the same amount then the companies made changes that made your ability to earn significantly more difficult. Fact: In April 2022, UberEats slashed that Walker program that allowed people to make deliveries close by to people who lived close by, at most 7-8 blocks, and it was very effective, as I have seen it myself. Before unlocking my bike, riding to my delivery destination, looking for a place to lock my bike, the walker not only beat me to the destination but was already done. Uber instead discontinued the program so they could pay bikers less by pairing those orders that would’ve otherwise been given to walkers and dishonesty lowering the pay of those stacked orders.

  There’s a lot more questions to be asked during the live meeting, but it doesn’t make sense how the companies that foster such a booming industry have gotten away from robbing everyone and pocketing the profit. It’s pretty simple, they just got tired of paying us, and unless something is done about this, nothing will ever change, and this whole “independent contractor” job with “flexibility” nonsense will continue to undermine a job that has the potential to become solid if people would stop being so selfish and just give it a chance. You could surely be making above minimum wage and that’s great for you, but don’t forget that you are not the only one doing this job. Give a deep thought before saying you are against this rule, please I’m so serious about this, you don’t know how much worse the system will get if it continues to go unchecked.

  As a New York City delivery man It faces multiple problems on the streets from violent assaults, counterfeit bill fraud, vehicular accidents to the weather in general, the pandemic gave us “recognition” as essential but that did not change the working conditions of the workers in the least like me, In return, the applications have intensified their policies, with the delivery drivers being seriously affected, a minimum payment gives us delivery drivers in the city the opportunity to improve the quality of life and to cover all the operating expenses that we have on a daily basis. It is a good start on the road to labor justice and dignity for food delivery workers in New York City.

  Delivery workers deserve fair wages and stronger protections, which is why I am in favor of this proposal. Companies like DoorDash benefit from the lack of regulation regarding pay and safety. Workers go home with cents in their pockets while DD cashes in on billions of dollars in revenue. These companies do not need additional money in their pockets. They need to pass this money onto the workers who spend their days in the street performing services for their delivery monopoly, workers who have been gravely injured, assaulted, and killed to boost the bottom line of these companies.

  I do not believe that the subsidies to cover expenses and healthcare are sufficient. As workers are not provided healthcare by companies they should receive a higher amount for to supplement healthcare/workers comp in light of the dangerous conditions workers face navigating the city.

Al peligro asi
  estoy a favor de esta propuesta. Empresas como DoorDash se benefician de la falta de regulación en materia de pago y seguridad. Los trabajadores se van a casa con centavos en los bolsillos, mientras que DD cobra miles de millones de dólares en ingresos. Estas empresas no necesitan dinero adicional en sus bolsillos. Necesitan pasar este dinero a los trabajadores que pasan sus días en la calle realizando servicios para su monopolio de entrega, trabajadores que han sido gravemente heridos, agredidos y asesinados para impulsar el resultado final de estas empresas.

  Hello, Reader

  Working Uber Eats for me is a great side Gig. I fully understand that I am an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. With that being said Here is why I do It. FLEXIBILITY.

  Yes there’s slow days, where you can make about 10 dollars an hour and there’s days, when you can me $30 Hourly.

  I hope that Any decision that will be made, does not Impacts the FLEXIBILITY this Gig Brings to New York City.

  PS. We need to EVALUATE the service entrance this might be segregation

  El CEO de Uber tiene un salario $19 millones de dólares al año, yo como delivery no tengo salario, el dinero que gano depende de las propinas de los clientes, si estoy en las calles y no recibo ordenes en una hora o más estoy trabajando gratis, las aplicaciones me envían órdenes de $3 $4 $5 dólares a 2 – 3 4 o hasta 5 millas de distancia lo que significa que estaré haciendo maximo 2 o 3 órdenes por hora pasó el doble de tiempo en la calle que un trabajador regular ( entre 12 y 14 horas los 7 días de la semana ) la pregunta es¿ estamos peleando con estas compañías por dinero o estamos peleando por dignidad humana ? Desde que tengo este trabajo me he dado cuenta lo que pasan muchos de mis compañeros, y por eso decidí luchar por nuestros derechos los cuales creo que deben ser los mismos para todos, así que lucharé hasta el final porque se que estas empresas definitivamente tomarán represalias en contra de los trabajadores, ahora en la ciudad de Nueva York estamos mas unidos que nunca, la lucha seguirá no nos rendiremos actúen cómo crean que deben hacerlo pero ahí estaremos siguiendo cada paso que dan para defender a los nuestros, señores de Grubhub-Doordash-Uber-relay esto no para hasta que entiendan que todos merecemos mejores condiciones laborales cualquier paso que den estaremos 3 más por delante, salario digno para todos la lucha continua.

  I support the minimum pay for the hour workers. It’s important to understand that this minimum pay will NOT hurt gig economy workers. This is be the minimum base pay a delivery app can pay you, in the case that your tips and such end up averages less that the minimum pay per hour. Instead, this will better protect delivery workers

  With that being said, even $18 base minimum page is NOT enough. If you calculate how much these workers spend on their bike maintenance? Registration fees, storage, and other materials, they end up earning a subpar wage. As long as these apps do not offer assistance for these operating costs, they should be obligated to pay a LIVING wage for these workers. That’s not even considering the workers who have a high tax bracket (40%) due to immigration status.

  How is it fair that a lot of these companies are making record profits, with CEOs making millions per year, while the people keeping the business running are struggling to make ends meet. Not to mention that these workers have ZERO protection.

  These food delivery workers deserve a better payment due to the fact that they face many risks such as accidents, robberies, and violent assaults. It is known as a dangerous job but they are seeking a better future for themselves and their families.

  Un punto de vista a favor del departamento de labor y de delibristas unidos es que yo como delivery estoy de acuerdo a obtener un salario mínimo , ya que en ocasiones tenemos momentos que no recibimos órdenes y no ganamos nada , pues un salario mínimo sería algo accesible para la mayoría de todos mis compañeros delivery’s , porque en ocasiones sufrimos accidentes , robos y otras cosas que son parte del trabajo, con eso ya podemos liderar un poco con los gastos

  Me dirijo a usted para instarle a que no promueva nuevas reglas que obliguen a las apps a limitar cuándo y dónde trabajo.

  La razón por la que decido hacer entregas con la app de Uber es porque tengo toda la flexibilidad para elegir en qué días de la semana, a qué horas del día y en qué partes de la ciudad puedo hacerlo. No quiero competir con los demás repartidores por las mejores horas para hacer entregas y no quiero que se me excluya de las apps.

  Le insto a que no fuerce a las apps a quitarme mi libertad y flexibilidad.

  I am a partner of a small courier company in Manhattan. We have less than 20 drivers. For us, the profit margin is minimal since deliveries in Manhattan use bicycles. Deliveries are not more than 2.7 miles. A restaurant does not pay more than $5 per shipment if the driver earns $20 an hour means that he should make more than 4 orders to cover the cost of his service, on bikes they go slow it is impossible for them to make 4 orders per hour, that’s why I think they shouldn’t put in the same category delivery applications such as doordash that are millionaires together with courier companies that do not have the same margins, delivery apps charge a high commission for the service and can subsidize their deliveries couriers do not, since we charge a flat fee, they shouldn’t want more than $20 including tip, more than that would mean going out of business.

  Let’s talk with facts, everyone believes that delivery apps earn a lot of money but no, they lose a lot of money every year and keep selling shares, the cost for a restaurant or a courier is very high, New York must undoubtedly be the place where the best A delivery boy earns in the world, they do not spend everything on fuel on an electric bike of 1000 dollars and they receive good tips, they earn more than $1000 a week when a dishwasher earns $400, the state must worry about taking care of jobs and that companies can arise not that they worry about meeting unjustified demands from people who want to earn more without having finished school,

  Firstly, I do not trust this commie group Deliveristas Unidos. I like being an INDEPENDENT contractor. I like being able to have my own hours, as I please, or as I need.

  What I KNOW this will do is cause the delivery app companies to utterly DESTROY the market for workers. First, all the workers get FORCED into either fighting people with bots to get halfway decent shifts on the apps. Then you add getting an influx of NEW delivery people, chasing money and taking away from the rest of use who don’t do this as a hobby. Your prices go up as a consumer. That leads to less demand.

  Less demand for more workers, who get less out of the deal because they no longer have flexible shifts or even the option to reject a delivery offer. This leads to less workers. Either the apps will mass-fire people who would have otherwise been able to work just fine, they would destroy their offers like they did to Walkers on 4/20/22 by changing the algorithm, or the workers will all get fed up with dealing with all this new BS because a few socilaistas didn’t take a few economics class and get FORCED OUT BY UTTER NECESSITY OR QUIT.

  This is government for the sake of government sticking their nose in where it shouldn’t be to look woke. They don’t address any of the courier comanies int he city that have been in the city for years that have WORSE pay structures and exploit illegal immigrant labor. It does not address SHOPPING apps that run off the same concepts.

  You are giving me a hot steaming turd wrapped in a $20 and telling me it doesn’t stink. I have been doing deliveries in one form or another in this city since 2000. You are not interested in hearing about the real problems. You never have been, and in fact, the city agencies take part in the exploitation by the choices of courier companies they use. You have never cared about the health, safety, or wallets of delivery workers in this city and neither do the groups exploiting your absolute ignorance for a few headlines. Don’t act like this is some great change of heart.

  This will be a grave mistake for many, and unfortunately, the workers will end up paying in the end. As is the case with all these stupid “socialista” ideas in history. Yet another page in the downfall of the city if this goes through as it is.

  With all due respect, go piss up a rope.

  The current 2.5$ pay per trip is a spit in the face, it would be nice if instead of an hourly wage you divide that 23.82$ by 3 (which is the average amount of deliveries a person can do an hour) and pay us that amount for each delivery but keep the current flexibility making it 7.94$ per trip instead of 2.5$.

  Hello I am not quite sure why this minimum wage proposal and the Employee or Independent Contractor porposal is being brought into play at the same time but it all smells fishy to me. It feel I’m being on one hand attacked and on the other hand pressured. It would not be a good thing to alter the pay system that is in placed because then there will be other stipulations put in place to regulate that mandated pay. We as INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS know what we will be paid and choose to accept that pay or not. The key word is CHOOSE. This choice is what gives us the freedom to set our own schedule choose our areas of work as well as choose what deliveries we’d like to haul. Thank You but NO THANK YOU.

  I’m Delivery worker in New York City and I work for a company a year ago I was robbed, they beat me and they stole everything I had. I’m a little older now and I couldn’t defend myself. I told the Uber company I worked with what happened and they could never help me at all I was convalescing for almost three months resting in my house unfortunately I could not cover the expenses of my rent and I had to ask the city for help and stay in a shelter it is sad for me but I know that there are many more in the same situation for not being able to cover our expenses in an emergency or an accident while we work for these applications they simply ignore the worker and leave him to his own problem, It is sad but it is the reality I think that a minimum payment would be a great help for all the delivery people in the city

  I don’t think that a minimum strike is the solution to so many problems that a food delivery person faces because we don’t have any kind of protection and it was the police or labor justice, I’m even not sure that there is labor justice when it comes to from the gig economy industry it is hard to think that a minimum payment is the solution but it could be a good start I applaud this act and I know that many people will benefit from the minimum payment that New York City is implementing this coming year

  I’ve been working door dash to make extra money in the newyork city are since I lost my job in Covid and needed the extra cash for renting .

  The app itself is a great way to make quick cash and get it with no hassle . However there are Barriers within the app . That don’t allow us to maximize the experience .

  Couriers work very hard for both the customer and the company they are choosing to deliver for . A minimum wage pay should not be up for discussion because without couriers , there is a decline in sales !

  Couriers also have to face harsh critics within the app for being late , which can result in a deletion of your account without any notice . Couriers face multiple disadvantages, weather conditions , time limits And the overall drive and hunger you need to even wait outside a store for hours to get someone else food . We love to help others , but it’s unfair that these companies are not helping us .

  My name is Stefan and I live in Brooklyn,NY. I’ve been dashing for 2 years, since the start of the lockdowns due to COVID. I can’t say enough how vital it was at that time especially that there wasn’t a pay restriction in place. This enabled me to make a decent wage and pay the bills, especially since my wife and I were both out of a job. I am writing in opposition to NYC’s earnings standard’s aggregate pay requirement for the reason that it will limit the flexibility of individuals to adequately provide for their family. It is very much outside of the American ideal for entrepreneurs to work as hard as they can to provide the life that they want. These new pay restrictions would absolutely take that right and privilege away. With that, I would like to reinforce that I am writing in opposition to this new aggregate pay requirement.

  Pagar un salario es lo mínimo que deben hacer estas empresas, no hacerlo significa que pueden hacer lo que quieren sin que ninguna entidad del gobierno los pueda regular en los Estados Unidos apoyo a movimientos que luchan por estos derechos y ánimos a otros en los diferentes estados a hacerlo para 2023 es Nueva York pero podemos hacerlo en otros estados por supuesto y hacer las cosas al derecho como cualquier empresa lo hace con sus empleados

  Estas compañías no pagan un salario porque saben que la mayoría de las personas que realizamos esta importante labor somos inmigrantes muchos de nosotros no sabemos cómo funcionan las leyes en este país y de alguna manera estamos vulnerables pero solo porque desconocemos el sistema ahora estas personas que luchan por nuestros derechos nos defienden ahora que estamos fuertes pretenden atacar nuevamente en lugar de tomar una posición que nos beneficio a ambas partes.

  Muchos Deliveristas tienen un alto costo de opereación, en especial los Deliveristas que utulizan moto para hacer su trabajo. Es por esto que los Deliveristas atravez de NYC – le estan solicitando a DCWP que establezaca un salario justo para todos los Deliveristas.

  Many App Delivery workers have a high operating cost, especially Deliveristas who use motorcycles to do their work. This is why Deliveristas across NYC are asking DCWP to set a fair wage for all app delivery workers.

  GPS Tracker GPS Fee: $22
  Rent for Motorcycle Parking: $120
  Phone Service for 2 Working Smart Phones: $120
  Motorcycle insurance: $60
  Motorcycle Gas for a full-week of work: $120
  Basic Motorcycle Maintenance (Change The Oil, Replace The Air Filter, Maintain Tire Pressure And Treat, Change The Coolant, and Clean Chain: $155
  TOTAL YEARLY EXPENSES FOR SERVICES = $7,164
  Plus
  DELIVERISTAS OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
  Deliverista Working Tools = $5,850
  Personal Protective Equipment = $1,030
  Safety Devices to Prevent Motorcycle Theft = $340
  Motorcycle Maintenance Tools = $305
  Fees & Expenses For Processing Motorcycle License /Plates = $1,330
  TOTAL OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES = $9,500

  Pues no se como es que hemos trabajado me.cuentasn que las propinas no son salario pero no me queda claro como es que presentan las compañías con mensajes engañosos,
  Las compañías mezclan la paga del viaje y la propina del cliente
  Creo que deberían de separar las propinas del pago por hora por que eso causa confusión a los trabajadores creen que la paga es alta y por eso no es necesario fijar un pago minimo
  Pero si separoanuañmente mis propinas y mi salario la diferencia es demasiada
  Ahora mismo ganamos más en propina que en salario
  Y pasar la responsabilidad de la paga del repartidor al cliente es una jugada muy sucia de parte de las app

  As someone that delivered during the pandemic it’s upsetting seeing this law even trying to be passed. With Also being in the military doordash is amazing for me being able to work on my own times with the freedom we deserve is great . Minimum wage won’t cover for gas, insurance , and for basic necessities. So many taxes and fees are taken out of what we worked hard to make every trip isn’t easy we deal with a lot of problems while delivering . These companies should treat there employees better we’re serving our communities.

  I do not agree with the change since it would be very unfair, so little we would not fear any type of benefit. working for these applications has been a great help to me. These applications give me the opportunity to have a decent and fair salary without having to follow a schedule and at the same time be able to continue with my studies. this change will be a great harm to the thousands of students just like me who depend on this work. with the change we will be jobless. In my case, I cannot work a full shift of 8 hours because I study and a half shift in a job, the pay would be very low. This new change is not helping any dealer if it does not negatively affect all of us dealers. This is not a help for us delivery drivers, but rather the end of us, since many of us will lose our source of income, like me, who only work a few hours due to my studies.

  Hi,
  I am a delivery worker and have been for several years. I’ve seen many changes as well as several exploitative practices used by third party delivery apps that have affected consumers, restaurant owners and contractors negatively. I do truly appreciate some of the rights and protections that have been extended since the initial proposal. The ability to set the distance I’d be willing to travel as well as making it mandatory to show all the information related to a delivery before accepting it has been amazing. I do appreciate the idea of a minimum wage, however I also thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility allotted to me. I think that this proposal, if passed, would take that freedom and flexibility away. I, like many other workers deliver for several companies and this could possibly force us to be tied to one company. Furthermore, we’d be put in a position of working far more for less money. I think it’d be best to pass laws that’d protect restaurant owners as well as consumers from exploitative fees and set a base minimum per order that a delivery company must pay its contractors. Or have that be an option as well as some hourly minimum for those who’d prefer that.

  I have been working for Doordash for almost 3 years. The flexibility Doordash has is amazing you get to choose when you work and you get to choose the orders you take I found this to be very convenient. I disagree with the minimum wage, because then drivers have to drive longer distances to deliver food for lower tips. There are a lot of Dashers who don’t have access to a vehicle like riding bicycles or even walking. The way Doordash works currently works for me. I’m able to take my kids to school work whenever I’m ready not having to worry about being late and end it whenever I need to. The one problem I believe most Dashers have is the pay, most Dashers are not going to drive 5 miles for three dollars and a lot of orders come up like that. I think there should be a price on how many miles from the restaurant to the customer. For example every mile should be at least a dollar tip, so if the distance is 5 miles, the tip should be five dollars if the trip is 15 miles tip should be $15 and etc. I think this way a lot more Dashers would except more orders and would be more happy, because at the end of the day, it is all about pay.

  The comfort of having food delivered is the freedom to work where you want and when you want, so we will no longer have freedom, there are orders that are difficult because they are 7 and 8 miles away, personally I do those delivery’s but it is a sacrifice and more in this city. The base payments must be regulated and the distance and the tips because there are customers who abuse, the apps are going to force us to carry larger orders and from a greater distance, be careful with that ..!!

  As a full time student, Uber eats, Grubhub and Doordash etc… has been a great factor in helping push forward everyday without being pressured about that fact that I have to get to work. With it’s flexibility, I’m able to get more work done throughout the day. With this law being pass, it could affect many people negatively therefore I opposed this law being that it would push many people into unemployment.

  I have been working delivery apps since 2016. As with most deliveristas it has been my main or only source of income for much of that time. While these apps claim to offer flexibility and thus not need to be treated like a “real job,” my experience has not shown that. You open a virtual map on your phone, wait for an order to come in, and do exactly what it tells you. On the major apps you need to accept a high percentage of orders and complete enough per month to maintain a high priority status in the algorithm – without this you get assigned fewer if any orders. These companies use Silicon Valley’s best data scientists to determine exactly how cheap each order needs to be assigned at to get somebody to do it. Since the pandemic these companies have expanded rapidly but hired even more couriers, which means they can get away with assigning most orders for very cheap, as low as $2. For most of the last year I have found it not possible to make the city minimum wage of $15 no matter how hard I worked. They offer me $5 to travel multiple miles, and if I refused I would not receive any more offers. My only hope is to get an occasional order with a high tip, however it was up to luck whether or not I am assigned one, and relies on the generosity of an unknown customer.

  There may be some couriers who claim to be satisfied with their current pay, and I do not doubt them, however by nature of the game they are the exception who have found a way to play the algorithm for the best orders. The rest of us are left to fight for the scraps that are left. This game cannot continue. It forces us to battle exhaustion as we ride nonstop for 10+ hours a day in dangerous conditions. Or it makes us wait on the curb, outside and vulnerable, for an occasional order assignment that pays just enough for a cup of coffee. There is absolutely no reason for these companies to give us a fair wage now, and with how the pay has been progressing, next year will be even worse. This business has always passed every cost onto us, from our own equipment expenses to paying us absolutely nothing for going to a restaurant which lost your order.

  We deserve to take home at least $15/hr for a day of work just like every other occupation in this city is legally guaranteed. Our companies have been threatening to make the job worse if this bill passes – but how could they? The “flexibility” they claim is a myth, these platforms are so overstaffed most of the time we do not get the choice of earning a meaningful payment wherever and whenever we want. Setting a fair minimum wage lifts the floor for all workers. The companies will still find a way to get one of us to quickly fill every order that comes in – they have invested too much into this market to cut back. On the busiest nights they will still pay us more. Random orders nobody else can do will still be available to claim. With a fair minimum wage (and I believe it should be even higher than proposed once our expenses are accounted for) there will be no more waiting on the curb for nothing or getting forced into accepting orders that are not worthwhile. We will rise together and be one step closer to fair treatment where everything they make us do for them is reasonable.

  One of the biggest appeals of working for a food delivery service company like DoorDash as a contractor is the flexibility. Not just the flexibility of working when you want, but also the flexibility of being able to pick and choose what deliveries you would like to do. Any government interference would hinder these flexibilities and turn off many drivers from wanting to do gig work.

  I’ve been working as a Dasher with DoorDash for the past 2 years. The flexibility is the main reason why I resigned from my regular Full Time job to become a Full Time Dasher. I support my elderly mother who needs assistance with many daily activities including doctor’s appointments. Unfortunately I would not be able to help her if i Worked the regular Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm as my previous employer required. The opportunity that DoorDash has given me to work at times that I can has helped tremendously. The flexibility gave me the chance to make this a career and still perform my everyday responsibilities. I am writing in opposition to the requirement under NYC’s proposed pay rule that delivery worker pay be based on the amount of time workers have the app open rather than time on delivery. I feel as if this will challenge the very reason why I become a Full Time Dasher to begin with. Since COVID-19 began in 2020, the importance of the food industry really showed the world how valuable it is. When looking for work, the food app industries were the only companies looking to support the city. We as Dashers feel as though we are being punished with the new rules that may be implemented. It should be reconsidered and not only benefit some of us workers. We should all benefit and be able to provide the best service we can.

  Part of the draw of working as a food delivery person is the flexibility that it provides. I work with DoorDash and UberEats and a huge benefit to these services is the ability to accept and decline delivery opportunities to your liking. If minimum income measures were introduced, these platforms would be forced to reduce the flexibility that they can offer their workers.

  NYC runs on the hourly sacrifices and hard labor of our delivery workers, many of whom are immigrants working tirelessly to help nourish wealthy New Yorkers for meager pay and paltry tips in unpredictable and dangerous conditions. Establishing a minimum wage that actually makes it feasible for them to pay for essential working and living costs in addition to healthcare needs, bike repair requirements, phone upkeep, and their families’ care, is essential to keeping our city equitable.

  My name is Henry. I live in the Bronx NY, i have been working as a Dasher for 2 years and some months. I’m working in opposition to the requirement under NYC’s proposed pay rule that delivery worker pay be based on time the app is open and minimum hourly rate of $17.87

  As a family parent of four children with a full-time job, one salary is not enough i need a part time job to supplement my income that allows me to work around my four children schedule and my full-time job. That’s why i have chosen this kind of work. I need to be able to decide when to work and how much I work every week.

  It’s not logical to put a minimum rate of $17.89 per hour for all Dashers since different Dashers use different modes of transportation to do deliveries.
  For example: how can you pay the same rate for someone delivering on foot and that one delivering using a car.

  To the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection,
  I am writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers. I own Silvana, Shrine, Yatenga French Bistro and Bar and Ouaga sports bar, family owned businesses in Harlem that have been serving customers for more than 16 years.

  While we have always loved welcoming customers into our restaurant, like almost every restaurant we started to face challenges in 2020 when in-person dining was restricted. Delivery workers became an essential part of New York’s economy, especially during the pandemic when we really relied on them, and I agree that they deserve to be paid a reasonable wage and to have access to important protections.

  But I am concerned the City is not doing enough to consider how the current proposal for high minimum wage would actually negatively impact customers, delivery workers, and small business owners like myself. We joined DoorDash, Uber, Grubhub and Postmates to help make sure our restaurants were able to survive, and now years later, delivery is ingrained in our business, it’s helped us grow revenue and we’ve come to really rely on the benefits it provides.

  While much of the responses to the initial study released by DCWP seems to be focused on the pay rate itself, what is deserving of further consideration is how the city is going to require platforms to meet that rate. The DCWP said it estimates about 60,000 workers use delivery apps during any week, and now they are proposing that these platforms will have to pay workers for the amount of time they have apps open, beyond just when they are making deliveries.

  This is going to significantly increase costs for platforms, and these added costs are likely to be directly passed on to consumers. As a business owner, the likely outcome is clear to me: Higher cost means fewer orders. Just as we have seen when we have tested out different prices on our menu, we know that even slight changes to prices can deter customers from ordering delivery, either because people can’t afford to do it as frequently, or at all. If the full costs are passed on to consumers, which the City estimates could be upwards of $5 per order, many small businesses would not be able to survive such a stark drop in orders.

  And this is coming at a time when we are already facing many challenges as an industry. I have to work hard just to retain the staff I have, maintain quality and battle inflation that’s driving up the cost of ingredients and forcing us to increase our prices to keep up. The extra costs for delivery that would take away more revenue would create a big problem for us.

  While I support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, I urge DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the rule and make some necessary changes. Establishing a meaningful pay rate for delivery workers is well-intentioned, small business owners need a balance to ensure we are not ultimately paying the price. With that in mind, we respectfully encourage the Department to revise the structure of this proposal to prevent higher costs for the local restaurants and small businesses that are at the center of our local economy and so many communities throughout New York City.

  Sincerely,
  Sivan Baron
  Owner of Silvana, Yatenga French Bistro and Bar, Shrine world music and Ouaga sports bar.

There may be someone very happy with everything remaining the same, companies and businesses will always look for the best option to fatten their bank accounts, but I can ask them, at what price, and they will not know at what price because nobody else If you are a delivery person you will understand, we pay a high price to work and not only in money but also with our lives when you run over us they kill us for stealing a bicycle or our phone while we are making a food delivery

  Doing something like this only shows that everyone knows base pay for workers has always fell short of what should actually be paid out, O n top of that no worker in any criteria should have to depend on tips to make it by in the world. Now to group together three deliveries on one trip and only pay out some change when you can choose not to pick this lousy purposeful programming of the app is even worse and makes it out right disrespectful to someone who is actually trying to grind out to make a living.

  DCWP’s members are doing good by defending our interests. A minimum wage is good but :
  1) What about the flexibility ( start/stop whenever you want ) ?
  2) Will we have to accept all orders ( no matter the distance from pickup to drop off) ?
  3) How many hours we will be allowed to work? 40hrs/week ? Overtime paid ?
  4) Will we be forced to take schedule for work ?

  MY PROPOSAL : “I JUST WANT THE COMPANIES TO PAY US MINIMUM ( $5 and up ) PER ORDER AND KEEP THE FLEXIBILITY AND CHOISE TO ACCEPT/REJECT OR CANCEL THE UNWANTED ORDER(s) “ . THANKS 🙏

  To the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection,

  We are writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers.

  The Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA) advocates for Yemeni-American bodega owners through outreach, education, and by providing a community and support system with the collective goal of providing a brighter future for Yemeni-Americans. Our organization works to support these largely immigrant-owned small businesses, and ensure they continue to have access to economic opportunity and a level playing field in New York’s economy.

  We understand the need to establish a minimum pay rate for food delivery workers, and we support the city’s efforts to do so. As an organization that also represents a community of essential workers, we know firsthand the difficult work that delivery workers grappled with during the pandemic and the critical role they played in helping the restaurant industry survive. However, the way the initial DCWP proposal is structured presents significant concerns about how it will potentially impact small business owners like those we represent.

  New York City bodegas were hit particularly hard by the pandemic, with many facing staffing issues, COVID-19 illness in their communities and a decrease in foot traffic in their stores. One of the few opportunities during the pandemic was the increased demand for food and grocery delivery. We saw this as an opportunity for our members and worked to get our bodegas on delivery platforms like DoorDash, equipping them with the technology to modernize and grow their businesses through delivery with a goal of sustaining them for the long term. Many of our bodegas have seen great success on these platforms and have relied on delivery as a key revenue stream in this post-pandemic economy.

  As currently proposed, the minimum pay rate contains provisions that will likely add significant costs to deliveries, namely basing total pay for all workers around the time they have an app open, even if they have no plans to accept orders during that time. We are concerned that this rule as drafted will mean a decrease in delivery orders for small businesses like bodegas offering prepared meals and groceries due to rising costs to the consumer. Our bodega owners are already struggling with rising costs due to inflation. This drop in revenue could be harmful to our bodegas who have grown to rely on delivery services for the survival of their businesses, and cannot afford additional hurdles to opportunities that are helping them modernize their businesses.

  We want to reiterate that our organization does support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, but we urge the DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the proposed rule. Specifically, there needs to be reasonable changes to the pay model that will still ensure meaningful wage protections for delivery workers but does not impose unnecessary costs on the small businesses community, including bodegas. We hope the DCWP will re-evaluate the proposed rule and come up with a solution that works for all hard working New Yorkers.

  My name is shatoya. I live in Jamaica queens , NYC, and have been working as a Dasher with DoorDash for the past 1 year and half. I am writing in opposition to NYC’s earnings standard’s aggregate pay requirement. As a single parent with a full-time job as a ups driver, I need to have a part-time job to supplement my income that allows me to work around my four children’s schedules and my full-time job. This is why I’ve chosen this kind of work. I need to be able to decide when I work and how much I work each week.

  I am writing in opposition to the NYC earnings standard’s aggregate pay requirement.

  Currently, I work a full-time position with NYS, but I still don’t make enough to cover all my bills and expenses. Because of my irregular and unpredictable schedule, most part time jobs don’t provide a feasible option for me.

  I started my gig work with Grubhub around 2018, and have been delivering for DoorDash and Uber for about the last 2 years. Since there’s no requirement for when or how long you work, I figured there was no harm in giving it a try. It’s turned out to be one of the best career decisions I’ve made.

  I have found that having the flexibility to work in whatever time I have available is an absolute necessity for me, and has made a definite positive impact on my financial health.

  If I’m in a pinch I can spend less than an hour on the road to earn some quick cash and cover last minute things like gas, parking, tolls, overdrafts, Escrow shortages, etc.

  This helps me not only to make ends meet, but work to maintain/ improve my credit score. Unlike my full time job, I can say that the harder I work, the more it pays off…. and if it didn’t work for ME, I wouldn’t keep doing it.

  I definitely appreciate I am the one in control of which jobs I accept, complete or decline. I do NOT want to start seeing things like “once accepted you must complete the order, ” or “you must accept all offered jobs.” Those are the type of requirements that make it more difficult for someone like me to earn additional income.

  Because I can turn down job offers, I’m able to choose only safe places and times to work, as well as finding the best paying job offers available.

  Employers like DoorDash and Uber are already offering very helpful incentives to their delivery partners, many of which are comparable to or even better than the incentives offered by my full time employer (cash back on gas, tuition, and discounts on food orders are just a few). I worry that these changes will limit companies’ ability to provide us with these incentives.

  In 2021, I underwent foot surgery and needed flexibility in my work conditions as I couldn’t sit or stand for very long periods. My employer refused my request to work from home even for part of my schedule, which forced me to take leave instead.

  Being able to “Dash” for DoorDash during those few months not only became a way to keep on top of my mounting medical expenses, but it also helped with my physical recovery, as I could give my foot daily exercise and stop as soon as I felt it was too much – something considered unreasonable by my full time employer.

  The idea of setting a minimum wage for these positions sounds like a great idea until you consider all of the control that the worker would lose in the process.

  The recent laws that have been put in place in NY have already solved many of the issues that used to be a problem for delivery workers. Now that I am able to set distance limits, see full trip information, time estimates, customer tips and more, I’ve enjoyed doing this work even more than before.

  It’s also been great to see these companies working with, and not against, their delivery partners, not only seeking input but actually implementing the ideas that work. Not to mention that it has helped to create new bonds in our communities, as restaurants (old and new), drivers and customers engage and “discover” each other.

  Aside from losing these perks of flexibility, I worry that turning gig work into minimum wage work will only feed into that cycle of eliminating jobs/hours in order to reduce payroll costs, or raising requirements for applicants to get into basic entry-level positions (ie. requiring a Bachelors degree to do simply clerical work). That would affect not only gig workers, but other industries as well.

  Please don’t ruin a good thing by taking away what has become a helpful, productive and entrepreneurial experience for so many hard working people.

  These jobs work BECAUSE of the fact the gig worker is in control, not despite it. Mandating a minimum wage will have negative effects on this industry of those who depend on it to maintain their livelihood.

  I appreciate the chance to weigh in on this issue, and hope our leaders will do what is best for us as citizens.

  As a bike commuter, I regularly see delivery workers out at all hours of the day in all weather conditions, including driving rain & heavy snow. While I choose to ride in those conditions for my own enjoyment, they have no option and spend all day outdoors in all weather facing all sorts of risks. They deserve fair compensation for their work & to be able to afford safe, high-quality equipment and to be able to ride at a safe and orderly pace rather than rushing about dangerously to be able to make a living while chasing meager tips. This may raise the price of deliveries but if delivery customers cannot afford to pay a fair wage to delivery workers, they cannot afford delivery — I mostly walk to pick up my own meals.

  I’m a new mom and the flexibility Doordash is providing to me right now, is what I need to help to the family income while I care for my daughter.

  When my baby is asleep for the night, I’m able to grab my car and go make some extra money.
  It didn’t only helped me economically, it did also helped fight my postpartum depression by allowing me to take fresh air, to forget about responsibilities for a couple of hours and feeling competent by seeing my bank account growing as before.

  I can’t always leave home, and that’s why I need Doordash to stay as it is: FLEXIBLE

  Deliveristas are essential workers who work under extremely difficult conditions to ensure New Yorkers are always able to get essentials like food, groceries, and medicine delivered. Delivery bicyclists work under especially difficult conditions because the City has yet to provide them with a complete safe bicycling network and even where bike lanes are present, they are often in poor condition.

  Deliveristas typically live paycheck to paycheck, making approximately $7.09 per hour with tips, and with their hourly expenses are $3.06, take home pay is reduced to $4.03 per hour without tips. Deliveristas deserve a living wage, and I support their recommendations that DCWP roll-out WJP/LDU’s proposed minimum pay as follow:

  Year 2023 – $20.87 Minimum Pay 

  Year 2024 – $24.25 Minimum Pay 

  Year 2025 – $28.82 Minimum Pay 

  In addition to working to create a living wage for deliveristas, some of this pay would serve to compensate workers for the expenses that lower their wages and some of it would also reflect the absence of workers’ compensation insurance.

  1 consider increasing the expense rate by $5, including the expenses of Deliveristas that use registered mopeds as work tools, essential safety expenses such as GPS Trackers, and hazard pay –
  2 DCWP should roll-out minimum pay as follows:
  Year 2023 – $20.87 Minimum Pay
  Year 2024 – $24.25 Minimum Pay
  Year 2025 – $28.82 Minimum Pay

  3. DCWP should closely monitor and evaluate the implementation of the aggregate pay component of the proposed minimum pay. The proposed structure leaves the calculation of the on-call time to the discretion of the applications, which is expected to lead to a more efficient use of the waiting time. Careful monitoring of this part of the new policy is key to prevent negative impacts on workers’ pay and work hours.

  I was standing in front of my building, eating a bag of peanuts. A delivery guy chains up with a big bag of food for someone in my building. When he comes back, I offered him some peanuts. He was so grateful that I offered. He said he hadn’t eaten yet today. It was 7pm. I gave him the rest of the bag. The gratitude in this persons face made me want to cry. The advertisements for all the apps that people order their food from, don’t tell you the person delivering your meal is getting pennies on the dollar. Saying thank you, I really appreciate this, as I hear one of my neighbors always say, doesn’t help this man or woman feed their own families. They need the dignity of being paid properly for a job most people couldn’t and wouldn’t do.

  As NYC resident & consumer – I support more than 60,000 Deliveristas – hard working people, who battle long hours, while braving nasty storms, flooding, speeding drivers and thieves to feed New Yorkers and sustain restaurants. I support Los Deliveristas in their historic journey to justice and to obtain a Just Living Wage that Pay for them ALL the time they spend on working for the apps. All apps must pay an additional $5, so Deliveristas can cover their work expenses. But more important, DCWP must protect workers and remain vigilant of the apps’ actions to deactivate workers. These workers served us during pandemic and continue to serve us during this winter season.

  I totally DISAGREE with the new proposal for numerous reasons. The first reason being, THOSE THAT USE THERE OWN AUTOMOBILES DO NOT GET PAYED ENOUGH AS IT IS NOW. It takes me about $90.00 to fill up my van and there are days I work well over 8 hours and only make about 60-$80. After that, I usually have to put back 25-$30 into my tank, leaving me with a take home pay of $60 for a 8hour shift. This ends up being about $7.50 an hour which is modern day slavery. On top of that, with all the wear and tear we do to our vehicles, what are we actually working for? We need to do oil changes, plus miles being added etc… it literally makes no since to do this for a living if one had the option not too. At the end of the year I owe in taxes! This proposal only benefits those that choose to sacrifice their very own blood sweat & tears until they have the option to do better for themselves. Therefore, I REPEAT, I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THIS PROPOSAL!

  These deliveristas kept us fed during a pandemic.

  I Wilfred Johnson will state the importance of free marketing of delivering all goods. I am from Brooklyn when my nephew brought to my attention the opportunity to dash. I am in my sixtys and I am not accustomed to working indoors, the dashing afforded me the freedom to make good money at my convenience. I started out as a walker then I acquired a scooter. Dashing afforded me opportunity to work hard and learn the business. In less then a years time I was able to afford a very comfortable life style. Delivery is a job where a person can work hard a be there own boss.

  As anyone that has ever been outside in the winter in New York City can attest, the weather can be absolutely brutal. Like most white collar workers in the city, I’ve grown accustomed to using the various food delivery apps (Ubereats, seamless, doordash,etc) to order dinner whenever I’m able to spend a ridiculous amount of money on something I can’t cook at home.

  But, even though it seems like I always pay a kings ransom for food delivery, none of the profits seem to be going to the people working the hardest to get what we ordered to us. The food delivery drivers of NYC deserve more, not just because the work they do is difficult (biking in the snow, rain, and braving the road rage of nyc drivers), not only because they stepped up and showed out when our city shut down due to a pandemic, and not only because at every turn they’ve been policed and discriminated against by the same city they work so hard to keep running.

  They deserve more because they say they do, and we should always listen to workers.

  To the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection,
  I am writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers. I am the owner of a small business in Bedford Stuyvesant that has been serving customers delicious savory and sweet crepes.
  While we have always loved welcoming customers into our restaurant, our business changed in 2020 when we joined delivery platforms like DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub that help us reach new customers, increase our sales and grow our business.
  Delivery workers became an essential part of New York’s economy, especially during the pandemic, and I agree that they deserve to be paid a reasonable minimum wage and to have access to important protections. But I am concerned the City is not doing enough to consider how the current proposal for a minimum wage would actually negatively impact customers, delivery workers, and small business owners like myself.
  While much of the responses to the initial study released by DCWP seems to be focused on the pay rate itself, what is deserving of further consideration is how the city is going to require platforms to meet that rate. The DCWP said it estimates about 60,000 workers use delivery apps during any week, and now they are proposing that these platforms will have to pay workers for the amount of time they have apps open, beyond just when they are making deliveries.
  This is going to significantly increase costs for platforms, and these added costs are likely to be directly passed on to consumers. As a business owner, the likely outcome is clear to me: Higher cost means fewer orders. Just as we have seen when we have tested out different prices on our menu, we know that even slight changes to prices can deter customers from ordering delivery, either because people can’t afford to do it as frequently, or at all. If the full costs are passed on to consumers, which the City estimates could be upwards of $5 per order, many small businesses would not be able to survive such a stark drop in orders.
  The past two years have been a challenging time for the restaurant industry and we have been facing many of the issues that restaurants across the city have been struggling with, such as staffing troubles and the increase in cost of goods. We cannot handle running our own delivery service, so if there is a significant drop in third-party deliveries, we will lose revenue.
  And the decrease in deliveries would be especially hard for restaurants and local businesses in further out areas of New York City like where my restaurant is located in Bedford Stuyvesant. If businesses in those areas are not receiving enough orders, the City’s study makes clear that delivery platforms may need to severely reduce or eliminate service altogether.
  While I support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, I urge DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the rule and make some necessary changes. While establishing a meaningful pay rate for delivery workers is well-intentioned, small business owners need a balance to ensure we are not ultimately paying the price. With that in mind, we respectfully encourage the Department to revise the structure of this proposal to prevent higher costs for the local restaurants and small businesses that are at the center of our local economy and so many communities throughout New York City.
  Sincerely,
  M.T

  Hello good evening, it is a pleasure that we can have this opportunity to talk about what we feel and that you can see the opinion of different people who may be affected in this aspect of generalizing payment on delivery,
  I am Karen, a woman who is studying, has children, a husband and a life with different hours and reasons why I cannot work in a company that offers fixed hours. I have been working on this app for a long time where I have found a flexible schedule, financial stability and peace of mind in my life. I think that establishing general payments makes the job not work, if we wanted hourly jobs we would look for hourly jobs; Thanks for having this forum where you can see who really benefits from this wonderful work as it is.

  Si, buenas tardes yo pienso que Relay es la mejor aplicación precisamente porque nos paga por hora así nosotros podemos entregar sin importar mucho la distancia y la propina al saber que también al ir un poco lejos sabemos que ya contamos con el pago por hora pues hay deliberes grandes que compensan si por ahí te toca un pequeño!!

  Estamos mucho tiempo trabajando así y realmente nos a ido muy bien espero que no cambie en nada esta modalidad de pago actual muchas gracias!! ️ ️

  Saludos cordiales! Yo (OTONIEL XILOJ CUTZ), trabajador esencial y delibrero para la compañía RELAY desde enero 2019, me niego rotundamente con la nueva regla que la ciudad quiere imponer, donde nos paguen a $30 la hora… 1)relay ha sido y es la única compañía que paga por hora, por eso mismo es la mejor compañía..yo y todos mis amigos que trabajamos con relay hacemos buen dinero trabajando asi..mínimo estamos ganando a 35 la hora..esta compañía es la única que verdaderamente valora el trabajo del delibrero.
  2) siempre he admirado el que dirige esta compañía relay..sin duda alguna es alguien que quizás fue delibrero…entiende muy bien la vida y trabajo de un delibrero…por eso mismo paga 12.50 la hora y más la propina…en muchas ocasiones ganamos hasta $50 la hora.
  3)esa nueva regla que la ciudad quiere imponer debe ser descartada..nos perjudicaría totalmente a nosotros los que enverdad estamos en las calles, los que enverdad vivimos el día a dia como repartidores de comida..AQUELLAS PERSONAS QUE HACEN LO POSIBLE PARA QUE SE IMPONGA ESTA REGLA..SON PERSONAS QUE NI IDEA TIENEN COMO SER REPARTIDOR Y MUCHO MENOS HAN TRABAJDO EN ESTO…personas que solo velan por sus propios intereses a costa de nosotros los que enverdad trabajamos día a día

  1) relay ha sido y la única compania que paga por hora, por eso mismo es la mejor compania para mi, yo y todos mis amigos que trabajamos con relay hacemos dinero trabajando así… mínimo estamos ganando a $30 la hora… esta compania es la única que en verdad valora el trabajo del deliverero.
  2) Admiro el que dirige esta compania RELAY… sin duda alguna es alguin que quizás fue deliverero…. entiende la vida y trabajo de un deliverero, por eso mismo paga a $12.50 la hora y más propina.
  3) esa nueva regla que la cuidad quiere poner debe ser descartada, nos perjudicaría a nosotros que en verdad estamos en las calles, los que enverdad vivimos el día a día como delivereros, aquellas persona que hacen lo posible para que se imponga esta regla, son personas que ni idea tienen como ser un deliverero, y puede que ni trabajan haciendo entregas… personas que solo velan por sus propios intereses a costa de nosotros los que enverdad trabajamos día a día.

  FELIZ DÍA.

  En primer lugar mis años que estoy usando la aplicación nunca me e quejado sobre el pago.
  Relay es una de las compañías más usadas por los repartidores de comida, en mi opinión que siguen pagando por hora en mi caso yo me ciento bien con los pagos semanales y de uso uso la aplicación diariamente… relay no debería estar sometido en la nueva ley, el pago por hora es justo mas propinas.
  Deben segir pagando como lo están asiendo ahora

  Yo no esto de acurdo a que relay sea sometido en la nueva ley.

  Empecé
  enero 14 del 2021
  No es muchos años pero durante este perido estoy bien con todos los pagos
  Relay no debe estar incluido en la nueva ley …

Me gusta su forma de pago por hora porque me ayuda con mis bill, renta, comida y los más importantes arreglo de mi bicicleta !

  I have been employed by relay for over two years. As somebody that has delivered food ever since they were 18 years old I’d never see myself being able to live in my own apartment and pay all bills until I started get the reservations neccasary to work full-time in Manhattan. Over a large enough sample size working with almost every courier in Manhattan I have found that relay has paid the best for me in not only dollar per mile as well as time spent working. Even though Im aware of being a top tier earner on the app and most people that work on don’t have the average hourly pay I do because I have one of the lowest scheduling times and deliver faster than most that in most cases if you work the entirety of the hours available on the app every week you can make by on that alone. For me this a margin where Im comfortable and I can enjoy my life in the city without overworking myself. What makes relay superior to the other popular apps is not only the lack of downtime between deliveries where it truly feels like your always earning without having to juggle and check other apps and coordinate sensible routhes between them, but also relay does the head work for you and can just purely focus on the delivery one at a time as efficiently well and in good standard as you can knowing most of the time they already have your next best job coordinated and ready for you to accept. What also makes this app elusive is that even if they don’t have that job for you right away you are still pertaining this sense of employment with a 12.5 hourly wage. This is huge for the lower tier earners Which isn’t really beaten by any other app in terms of hourly pay, pay per order, frequency in orders per hour, and efficiency per order this is why there be special regard in legal terms for relay as an app, because legislation is truly not needed as most of relays fleet is making far above minimum wage

  Buenas tardes
  Mi nombre es José Manuel Gaspariano
  Llevo trabajando con la aplicación de Relay ya por varios años
  Podría decir que casi desde que inició la aplicación
  Y siempre a pagado por hora más propinas

  El pagó por hora me da tranquilidad de saber que si no hay mucha entrega
  Tengo algo seguro para vivir
  y las propinas son un aliciente a echarle muchas ganas por que si haces más entregas puedes ganar más.
  Espero mi opinión sirva de algo
  Que tengas un excelente tarde.
  Por eso pienso que el pago por hora debe continuar.

  Ola la verdad es mejor q nos paguen por hora y no por orden así como trabajador es mejor trabajar por hora por q gana un poco más y uno tiene la flexibilidad de escoger sus horarios no como las otras apps q no pagan por hora el sueldo es muy bajo y pagan demasiado barato por delivery.

  Ami como trabajador de Relay me gustaría q Relay siga como a estado q pague por hora y no por orden porque es un beneficio para uno como trabajador y para mi es la mejor app y no estaría de acuerdo q lo incluyan n la nueva ley de la ciudad por q sería algo malo para nosotros los trabajadores q luchamos día tras día espero tomen en cuenta mi comentario.

Me gusta que Relay me paga por hora porque así puedo ayudar mejor económicamente a mi familia. Las propinas son buenas pero el trabajar por hora aumenta mi ganancia y así puedo trabajar un poco menos y estar más tiempo con mis hijos. Pienso que Relay no debe ser incluido en la nueva regla propuesta por la cuidad porque afectaría a muchos trabajadores independientes. Para muchos de nosotros Relay es una compañía que nos permite trabajar pero también pasar más tiempo con nuestros seres queridos por los beneficios de que pagan por hora.

  To the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection,
  I am writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers. I am the owner of New York City Bagel & Coffee House, a small business in Queens that has been serving customers for over 8 years.
  While we have always loved welcoming customers into our restaurant, our business changed with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to stay open at the beginning of the pandemic due to our loyal customers, but we were barely hanging on. We decided to join delivery platforms like DoorDash, GrubHub, Seamless and UberEats in order to help us reach new customers and grow our business.
  Delivery workers became an essential part of New York’s economy, especially during the pandemic, and I agree that they deserve to be paid a reasonable minimum wage and to have access to important protections. But I am concerned the City is not doing enough to consider how the current proposal for a minimum wage would actually negatively impact customers, delivery workers, and small business owners like myself.
  While much of the responses to the initial study released by DCWP seems to be focused on the pay rate itself, what is deserving of further consideration is how the city is going to require platforms to meet that rate. The DCWP said it estimates about 60,000 workers use delivery apps during any week, and now they are proposing that these platforms will have to pay workers for the amount of time they have apps open, beyond just when they are making deliveries.
  This is going to significantly increase costs for platforms, and these added costs are likely to be directly passed on to consumers. As a business owner, the likely outcome is clear to me: Higher cost means fewer orders. Just as we have seen when we have tested out different prices on our menu, we know that even slight changes to prices can deter customers from ordering delivery, either because people can’t afford to do it as frequently, or at all. If the full costs are passed on to consumers, which the City estimates could be upwards of $5 per order, many small businesses would not be able to survive such a stark drop in orders.
  The past two years have been a challenging time for the restaurant industry and we have been facing many of the issues that restaurants across the city have been struggling with, such as inflation and a shortage of items. This drop in delivery sales would cause our restaurant to lose business, as we were barely able to hang on prior to offering delivery.
  And the decrease in deliveries would be especially hard for restaurants and local businesses in further out areas of New York City like where my restaurant is located in Queens. If businesses in those areas are not receiving enough orders, the City’s study makes clear that delivery platforms may need to severely reduce or eliminate service altogether.
  While I support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, I urge DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the rule and make some necessary changes. While establishing a meaningful pay rate for delivery workers is well-intentioned, small business owners need a balance to ensure we are not ultimately paying the price. With that in mind, we respectfully encourage the Department to revise the structure of this proposal to prevent higher costs for the local restaurants and small businesses that are at the center of our local economy and so many communities throughout New York City.
  Sincerely,
  John Batas
  Owner of New York City Bagel & Coffee House

  Pienso que le conviene mandarnos órdenes y así es más seguro que tenga buen ingreso .
  Si relay pagará por orden seria como las otras aplicaciones y que veo que salen mucho tiempo a trabajar pero no tienen buen ingreso .

  I am in strong support of a fair minimum wage for app delivery workers. Tech billionaire apps like grubhub, doordash and uber eats should not be allowed to exploit immigrant workers. I grew up in a union household, and the only reason I got an education is because my father and his colleagues fought relentlessly, over decades, for fair wages. I am going out of my way not to use these apps when I am ordering food, because they only enrich the already super rich. But I would like to be able to support delivery workers, so please make sure they earn a decent wage with these apps.

  I support this proposal to ensure a minimum wage for New York’s food delivery workers. They work long and hard hours and have helped keep the city running throughout this pandemic. They risk accidents and exposure to sickness and inclement weather in order to provide the rest of us the luxury of having food delivered to our doors. They are entitled to fair compensation and a livable wage.

  en esta compañía que para mí como nuevo, me encanta demasiado por la razón de q pagan por ora y las propinas, creo q si me afecta como trabajador si me pagaran $30

  No se si son $30 y propinas y cuando llueve los 2 dólares extra ayudan de macizado

  Porque me impedirían la posibilidad de ganar el dinero que yo quiera hacer abiertamente si solo trabajo por hora , me busco un trabajo fijo en algún establecimiento , de la otra forma “la actual ” yo hago la diferencia q me convenga en tiempo y dinero

  I am writing to express my support for a rule to implement Local 115 of 2021 so that third party delivery services be paid a minimum and fair wage for their hard work. While food delivery companies have made millions during the pandemic, the people who do the work are not fairly compensated for working in difficult weather conditions, on crowded roadways, dangerous streets, and risk contamination at every delivery at a time when Covid variants have become exponentially more contagious. Those workers should be paid a living wage and compensated generously for doing the work no one else wants.

  I think that all companies needs to be flexible on that, we the drivers gets so many problems to handle like tickets parking when customers don’t want come down, and so many things, I think the 23$ per hour in is perfect for us they needs to get engaged with drivers and restaurants more to fix all the problems that makes a good service for customers 😀…

  Yes! Finally the city is considering us getting increased pay for all the hard work that us delivery workers do in all kinds of conditions! I’m so happy about this, we work too hard to be compensated the low amount that we receive. These hourly wage increases will help me pay my bills and help me get ahead. This is great news!

  As a New York City resident, I support Los Deliveristas and their demand for a Just Living Wage so that delivery workers can be paid for ALL the time they spend on working for the apps. I strongly urge the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) to increase the expense rate by $5, including the expenses of Deliveristas that use registered mopeds as work tools, essential safety expenses such as GPS Trackers, and hazard pay – as Deliveristas work during extreme weather conditions. Our family has relied on food delivery workers to get us through the pandemic as have thousands of other residents. It’s time that delivery workers are paid and treated fairly.

  hola me llamo jorge llevo más de 5 años trabajando para relay, hasta la fecha relay para mi es la aplicación que mejor paga ya que recibimos un pago por hora de $12.50 más propinas sin inportar que la hora no este ocupada el pago por hora es fijo, la hora sin mentir para mi casi siempre viene saliendo de $30 dls o más que los 30 y aparte es una aplicación muy flexible ya que uno escoge un día antes su horario para trabajar eso nos ayuda mucho ya que aveces uno tiene pendientes que resolver, hasta ahora es la app que mejor paga y no me gustaría que incluyeran a relay a la nueva ley ya que traería cambios que nos afectaría más o los que en verdad trabajamos bien, yo estoy en contra de esa nueva ley gracias…

  Me gusta trabajar con esta compañía (Relay) porque es un gran equipo, yo puedo elegir mi propio horario y también paga por hora. Más aparte la propina que dan los clientes. El pago por hora nos ayuda en los casos donde la orden no contiene propina, entiendo que ésto no debe ser obligatorio. Y es por esa razón que siento que es mejor el pago por hora, así como lo han hacho hasta ahora.

  Porqué yo quiero que Relay siga pagando por hora? Porque con $12.50 la hora + la propina que nosotros recibimos de los clientes nos ayuda económicamente ya nosotros tenemos familia que mantener,
  Ya hay demasiadas ((órdenes oh pedidos)) que los clientes nos da de $0.50c hasta $3.00 de propina, yo sé que la propina NO es obligatoria, por esa razón yo quiero que Relay siga pagando por hora, también en verano NO hay muchas demandas de ordenar para todos nosotros que trabajamos en Relay..

  Good afternoon, the reason that Relay continues to pay us by the hour is because the company has always thought of winning both, it thinks of its staff and company, which as a successful company, I have nothing more to say than that I am very grateful to work as we are so far. the one who works well and works passionately there are no impossible barriers to doing a good job

  Buenas tardes, la razón por la que Relay nos sigue pagando por hora es porque la empresa siempre ha pensado en ganar los dos, piensa en su personal y empresa, que como empresa exitosa, no tengo más que decir que soy muy agradecidos de trabajar como estamos hasta ahora. el que trabaja bien y trabaja apasionadamente no hay barreras imposibles para hacer un buen trabajo

  The Deliveristas keep New York running. They deserve to be compensated at a fair rate of $28.82 per hour. This minimum rate better reflects the cost of doing this essential work, often in hazardous conditions, than what has been proposed by the DCWP.

  My name is Solomon. I live in Bronx, NY, and have been working as a
  Dasher with DoorDash for the past 4 years. I am writing in opposition to the requirement under NYC’s proposed pay rule that delivery worker pay be based on the amount of time workers have the app open rather than time on delivery. With a full time job schedule and a family, having the flexibility to choose when I decide to dash, or not, is worth its weight in gold to me and if that choice is taken away from me, it will have a severe impact on me. This is why I’ve chosen this kind of work. I need to be able to decide when I work and how much I work each week, not have the decision made for me.

  It’s a good thing that you want to raise our income. I work full time. I drive. I support my family of 4.
  I beg of you not to turn me into an employee. What I value the most is the freedom & flexibility. I’m 49 years old. I am not interested in having a boss. Not interested in being forced to work under stress of taking orders I don’t want in traffic areas where the police will give me parking tickets which will mean I worked the entire day for nothing. My acceptance rate is well below 30%. I should not be penalized for not accepting everything they offer. Let me work in peace. Let me work when, where & how I want. Honestly; That is worth more than an EXTRA $6 or $7 per hour to me.

  I support this rule and urge the DCWP to pass it. Everyone working a job (especially one as taxing as food delivery) deserves to be compensated in line with minimum wage requirements, as well as part-time and full-time labor requirements. The piecemeal fee-per-delivery system these platforms have invented is a gross attempt to carve out a niche for themselves in spite of labor protections, one that that robs their workers of their worth and dignity for profit. Please pass this rule. Thank you.

  DCWP must consider increasing the expense rate by $5, so this increased rate will reflect the essential safety equipment expenses, such as GPS Trackers that Deliveristas use to keep themselves safe on NYC Streets.

  Being a Deliverista is one of the most dangerous jobs in NYC. Deliveristas’ working conditions became more precarious during the pandemic and continue today. Deliveristas suffer from workplace violence daily. Many of them confront unsafe streets and are victims of violent assaults, even at gunpoint, in an attempt to steal their e-bikes or mopeds, which are the primary tools of their work. Crime statistics from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) show that index crime in New York City increased in October 2022 by 5.9% compared with October 2021, driven mainly by an increase in grand larceny.

  It’s very important to keep the flexibility when working because things happen every day period and we need to make up time and money when we are running back and forth because most of the time it’s slow and we need a lot hours to MAKE the money out there not to mention a lot of disabled people look forward to certain dashes so schedule timing is important please don’t take that from us because then it would be pointless trying to work

  I think it is a good idea and I support it because these applications are rampant without anyone controlling them, exploiting us at will and pleasure, they can afford to have hundreds of workers on the streets and not give even 1 cent to any of them, they have created a system where the customer asks for something and in less than 1 minute there is a delivery person ready to make the order, all they care about is a happy customer and an exploited worker

  New York office workers and residents depend on food delivery workers, especially older and sicker folks. These essential workers, who dont get sick days and work in the worst weather, deserve at least a fair minimum wage. Most of them get few tips and little thanks. If they keep showing up for us, we need to do the same for them.
  If the rule will exclude grocery chains, or other major services which engage ‘independent contractors’ will be useless.

  Buenas noches, claro a nosotros como trabajadores nos conviene que allá un pago mínimo por hora (como en Relay) porque literalmente desde que nos conectamos ala app ya estamos trabajando y estamos disponibles para cualquier orden. Si nos pagan por orden en el tiempo que esperamos otra ya sería tiempo perdido que no nos pagarían entonces eso no nos conviene porque literalmente si bajamos trabajar es porque queremos que nos paguen literalmente el tiempo que estamos bajo las órdenes de la app entonces si cambia sería uña desventajas para nosotros ya que también deberían ayudarnos a nosotros como trabajadores ya que estamos ahí para cualquier clima día ya sea haga sol frío o como esté el día estamos ahí creo que de eso si deberían de tomar mucha conciencia ustedes como seres humanos.

  To the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection,

  I am writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers. At Jam’It Bistro, we are a small woman-owned business in Red Hook that has been serving customers delicious Caribbean cuisine for years.

  While we have always loved welcoming customers into our restaurant, our business changed with the start of the pandemic. The past two years have been a challenging time for the restaurant industry, and we have been facing many of the issues that restaurants across the city have been struggling with, such as staffing shortages, financial constraints due to inflation, and the ability to get enough orders to get by. We joined DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub in 2019 to help us access new customers and modernize our business model through delivery and takeout.

  Delivery workers became an essential part of New York’s economy, especially during the pandemic. I agree they deserve to be paid a reasonable minimum wage and access to important protections. But I am concerned the City is not doing enough to consider how the current proposal for a minimum wage would actually negatively impact customers, delivery workers, and small business owners like myself.

  Our small business has grown to rely on delivery services for a large portion of our revenue. We do get some walk-ins, but third-party delivery is a large portion of our sales, as we can’t run our own delivery service. We have also relied on delivery platforms like DoorDash as our main source for marketing, which is a large part of our efforts to bring in new customers.

  While much of the responses to the initial study released by DCWP seem to be focused on the pay rate itself, how the city will require platforms to meet that rate is deserving of further consideration. The DCWP said it estimates about 60,000 workers use delivery apps during any week, and now they are proposing that these platforms will have to pay workers for the amount of time they have apps open beyond just when they are making deliveries.

  This is going to increase costs for platforms significantly, and these added costs are likely to be directly passed on to consumers. As a business owner, the likely outcome is clear: Higher cost means fewer orders. As we have seen when we have tested out different prices on our menu, we know that even slight price changes can deter customers from ordering delivery, either because people can’t afford to do it as frequently or at all. If the full costs are passed on to consumers, which the City estimates could be upwards of $5 per order, many small businesses would not be able to survive such a stark drop in orders.

  And the decrease in deliveries would be especially hard for restaurants and local businesses in further out areas of New York City. As a business located in Brooklyn, we rely on delivery services to reach customers who live in Manhattan and other densely populated areas. If businesses like ours in the outer boroughs are not receiving enough orders, the City’s study clarifies that delivery platforms may need to severely reduce or eliminate service altogether.

  While I support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, I urge DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the rule and make some necessary changes. While establishing a meaningful pay rate for delivery workers is well-intentioned, small business owners need a balance to ensure we are not ultimately paying the price. With that in mind, we respectfully encourage the Department to revise the structure of this proposal to prevent higher costs for the local restaurants and small businesses that are at the center of our local economy and so many communities throughout New York City.

  Sincerely,
  Dawn Skeete
  Owner of Jam’It Bistro

  I am writing to comment on the proposed rule recently published by the Department that would set a minimum pay rate for app-based restaurant delivery workers. I am the owner of POPRICE, a small business in Flushing that has been serving customers fried rice and wings since August of 2020.
  While we have always loved welcoming customers into our restaurants, our business relies largely on takeout and delivery services, as we don’t even have dining tables in our space. We joined delivery platforms like DoorDash, GrubHub and UberEats. in order to help us reach new customers and grow our business. We were never able to offer our own delivery service, due to the labor shortage and a lack of staffing at our restaurant, so we have relied on delivery platforms for access to delivery services. 80% of our business is from these delivery platforms.
  Delivery workers became an essential part of New York’s economy, especially during the pandemic, and I agree that they deserve to be paid a reasonable minimum wage and to have access to important protections. But I am concerned the City is not doing enough to consider how the current proposal for a minimum wage would actually negatively impact customers, delivery workers, and small business owners like myself.

  And the decrease in deliveries would be especially hard for restaurants and local businesses in further out areas of New York City like where my restaurant is located in Queens. If businesses in those areas are not receiving enough orders, the City’s study makes clear that delivery platforms may need to severely reduce or eliminate service altogether. Our business will likely have to close if we are not able to get enough delivery orders. It is difficult enough to find good workers already.

  The past two years have been a challenging time for the restaurant industry and we have been facing many of the issues that restaurants across the city have been struggling with, such as staffing shortages and supply chain challenges since the pandemic. I am also concerned that this will take labor away from the restaurants, because workers will see that they can make higher wages on delivery.
  While I support a reasonable minimum wage for delivery workers, I urge DWCP to carefully consider the potential impacts of the rule and make some necessary changes. While establishing a meaningful pay rate for delivery workers is well-intentioned, small business owners need a balance to ensure we are not ultimately paying the price.

  Delivery workers are powering our city. I myself could talk for hours about the ways I’ve relied on delivery workers in the last few years — a universal tale — but I feel it’s unnecessary. Even the wealthiest and most powerful government officials in our city — alternatively, the absolute most powerful people who could possibly be reading this comment — are also relying on delivery workers to bring you and your families delicious and hot food whenever it’s raining, snowing, or you just don’t feel like leaving the house. Compensating these workers who brave all conditions and tirelessly keep this city going is a no brainer. We all know it — there is no denying how critical their work is.

  Please vote this proposal forward. It is not only a moderate and reasonable step toward creating a sustainably just economy for these workers, it is also the only decent thing to do when you know in your heart how essential third party food delivery has been for you in the last few years.

  My name is Charlene Obernauer and I am the Executive Director of the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH).

  NYCOSH is a non-profit membership organization of workers, unions, community-based organizations, workers’ rights activists, and health and safety professionals. NYCOSH uses training, education, and advocacy to improve health and safety conditions in our workplaces, our communities, and our environment. Founded in 1979 on the principle that workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths are preventable, NYCOSH works to extend and defend every person’s right to a safe and healthy workplace.

  NYCOSH has supported the efforts of deliveristas to improve their working conditions for many years, advocating for the legalization of e-bikes alongside many worker organizations, and supporting Worker Justice Project and Los Deliveristas Unidos.

  This population faces hazards on the job every day as they struggle to complete their work, including:

  • Deliveristas are forced to deliver as quickly as possible, racing to speed up their work to meet delivery times. This can have tragic impacts on delivery workers and is the result of companies putting pressure on workers instead of supporting them. Further, their bike equipment can be in varied state of disrepair (and should likely be provided by the employer), which can make cycling more dangerous.
  • Deliveristas have high incidents of being struck by cars or other vehicles, which only increases due to their employers placing unreasonable expectations on delivery times. The stress factor of riding in NYC’s streets is dire.
  • Heat and cold hazards as they deliver food in high heat and low cold throughout the year.
  • Deliveristas have been exposed to workplace violence, with some high-profile cases of workers being killed on the job.
  • The stress of earning subpar wages on workers is severe, leading to many stress-induced illnesses.

  Deliveristas deserve living wages so that they can sustain themselves and their families. Living wages should not be reliant upon the tips of generous customers, but should fall on the companies who profit off of the hard work of these essential workers.

  Corporate app institutions have been underpaying deliveristas for far too long. We are urging you to support deliveristas with a pay a fair pay of 28.82 an hour, to help deliveristas cover their most essential operations for this job.

  Food delivery workers in New York City are undoubtedly doing hard, hazardous, NECESSARY work that makes New York City the special place that it is. Why leave the city for the suburbs when 400 world-class restaurants deliver to my house?
  In the heat, in the rain, in the snow– these delivery riders zip around to ferry our food, dodging cars and potholes to make a living for their families. They are essential, they are brave, and they make the city greener and more vibrant. they deserve to get paid a living wage that allows their families to thrive.

  My name is Ryan Grant, I’m a 26 year old DSP and Doordasher. I’ve been dashing for about 3 years now. Hearing about this proposed pay rule confused me at first, the second part where the proposed aggregate pay comes into play seems to directly disadvantage dashers that work part-time rather than full-time. I work for NY state helping adults with disabilities and unfortunately it doesn’t always pay the bills. Doordash is in a unique position where it can provide full-time employment AND part-time employment depending on the needs of the individual worker. I for example, am not able to find part-time work due to my schedule at my first job, save for doordash.

  The flexibility to either work for 1 order or as long as I wanted has given me a lot of peace of mind and the ability to pay my rent on time, put gas in my car, or eat a meal that day when otherwise I couldn’t even afford to work my first job; the second part of this proposal seems to account for my situation, but in a way that punishes *me* for not making doordash my only job. The gig economy currently is a supplement to the failures of the actual economy to provide flexible work available as needed, and without revision, this proposal would make my life 2x as hard, and I am in a very privileged position compared to many other dashers in similar situations who’d much more than likely suffer WAY more. Revise the punitive proposal.

  Food delivery workers play a vital role in New York, especially throughout the pandemic. They help feed millions of New Yorkers each day. Their work is difficult and skilled and they deserve a basic minimum wage and food delivery companies have been exploiting them for years.

  Y por otra parte en mi opinión RELAY no debe estar incluido en la nuevas reglas que está proponiendo la ciudad, POR QUE relay si te paga la hora + propina y más bono extra y no como hacen las otras compañías las que debería estar Afectadas son esas que no paga bien a sus trabajadores .

  Hola, mi nombre es Alejandro González y yo estoy a favor que está aplicando RELAY siga con su mismo sistema de pago por horas más propina. Yo llevo 9 años trabajando en restaurantes donde se me paga por horas, pero siempre en los restaurantes se hace más trabajo, ya sea preparación, lavaplatos y haciendo entregas de comida. En la aplicación de Relay me ​​parece que es una buena manera de trabajar, porque se pagan las horas más propinas y siempre se está en movimiento ya que seguido manda órdenes. Solos las otras compañías como doordash, grub hub, Uber, son las que abusan ya que son las únicas que te pagan por órdenes.

  Hello, my name is Alejandro González and I am in favor of the fact that RELAY is applying, continue with your same system of payment for hours plus tips. I have been working in restaurants for 9 years where I am paid by the hour, but more work is always done in restaurants, be it preparation, dishwashing and making food deliveries. In the relay application, it seems to me that it is a good way to work, because the hours plus tips are paid and you are always on the move since you often send orders. Only the other companies like doordash, grub hub, Uber, are the ones that abuse since they are the only ones that pay you for orders.

  Deliveristas are essential to New York City. These 60,000 New Yorkers work arduous hours ensuring that people are fed and helping our small businesses survive. We would not have made it through the pandemic without them and continue to rely on them daily. They deserve to make a living wage and be protected from corporate wage theft.

  I am thankful that the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection is moving forward to establish a minimum pay rate for these workers. However, while the proposed rules are a huge step in the right direction, they do not go far enough in ensuring that food delivery workers are able to take home a living wage. I strongly urge DCWP to amend the rules to increase the expense rate by $5, bringing the minimum pay rate to $28.82 by 2025. Local Law 115 mandates that minimum payments must reflect the expenses of operation, and the proposed rules do not fully weigh these costs. Workers incur high costs to be able to successfully complete their jobs – from vehicle expenses, phones, GPS systems, and protections from inclement weather. It is essential to fully consider these rising expenses in the final pay structure.

  I hope DCWP will promptly amend these rules and ensure Deliveristas finally start getting paid the wages they deserve.

  Public Comment on New Rule for App-Based Delivery Workers in NYC

  Immigration Research Initiative (IRI) acknowledges the tremendous work of New York’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection in setting a competitive pay scale for app-based delivery workers in New York City.

  The new wage standard of $23.82/hour represents a significant change in the standard of living for thousands of essential workers in New York who, for too long, have operated in a largely unregulated labor market in which they have gone underpaid and under-appreciated. IRI strongly supports establishing an hourly wage for app-based delivery workers who have previously been paid per order, despite spending countless hours and days under sometimes dangerous conditions on call and ready to work for platforms such as DoorDash, UberEATS, and Seamless.

  IRI does, however, urge New York City government officials to consider a higher wage standard that includes appropriate recognition of the costs associated with app-based delivery work. Delivery workers who drive mopeds or motorcycles incur on average $16,664 annually in costs associated with owning and operating their vehicles.

  The pay scale DCWP laid out in its report incorporates a $2.23 hourly expense payment, but that is not enough. To pay their expenses at that rate, deliveristas on mopeds and motorcycles would have to work an utterly absurd 144 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.

  Los Deliveristas Unidos and Desis Rising Up and Moving (DRUM) have proposed raising the expense component to $5/hour. IRI strongly supports this increase, since a $5 hourly expense component in the wage standard is more than justified. In fact, it is still low: even at $5/hour it would take 70 hours of work per week to cover the cost of driving a moped or motorcycle.

  And, while many deliveristas use battery-assisted bicycles, they also incur thousands of dollars in costs each year to acquire and maintain their equipment, as well as the costs of replacing their equipment if it is stolen or damaged in a car crash.

  Hello,

  I am writing in my capacity as resident of the city, urging the city to act swiftly and provide these vital workers with the wage they deserve to earn. The role as food courier in New York remains one of the most hazardous and unprotected and yet these workers continue to work hard to reach the American dream. In my view, there is nothing that embodies the spirit of New York City more than that. Raising the minimum wage, first, provides a wage commensurate to the risk, skill, and supply of labor. Secondly, it highlights the value that they provide to the city’s financial health, not solely for consumers that order on these apps, but for thousands of businesses and families. Finally and most importantly, raising the minimum wage will provide the workers with additional capital to reinvest and benefit themselves and their families personally and professionally. This will undoubtedly contribute back to the economy of New York City. During the 90s, the conventional view was that if you afford wealthy people and large corporations size-able tax benefits that would trickle down into the economy. That view has since been largely dismissed, yet the argument is often still made and seriously considered. This absurdity makes me reflect and ask, why is when marginalized communities ask for equal or fairer treatment, we are asked for an explanation? I strongly urge the city to continue to build on New York’s role as the leader in achieving justice in the labor force and support this measure.

  Respectfully,
  Ricardo M. Zamarripa

  I am writing to show my support for DCWP’s rule to implement Local Law 115 of 2021, which would require delivery app services to pay delivery workers an average minimum hourly rate. However, I am urging the Department to raise the rate from $23.82 to $28.82 to ensure that the rate is aligned with the living and working expenses of delivery workers.

  According to the Los Deliveristas Union and the Workers’ Justice Project, there are more than 65,000 delivery workers in New York City and delivery workers are living paycheck to paycheck. An hourly rate for delivery workers would provide for their cost of living and we need to ensure that this rate truly accounts for expenses and economic factors like inflation.

  Under the current DCWP proposal, the $23.82 hourly rate is broken down by the following:
  Deliveristas Bay Pay Rate: $19.86
  Workers Compensation Pay Rate: $1.70
  Expenses Rate: $2.26
  There needs to be a $5 increase to DCWP’s proposed expenses rate to ensure that delivery workers can pay for their work tools such as registered mopeds, can pay for their essential safety expenses such as GPS Trackers, and have hazard pay for their work in extreme conditions.

  Delivery workers keep our City running, delivering meals and other essentials to New Yorkers and during quarantine, they were a lifeline to those who could not leave their homes. Delivery workers deserve better and our City has to do right for them.

  I urge DCWP to not only set an average hourly minimum rate but to also raise the proposed amount to $28.82 to ensure our City’s delivery workers are able to have a living wage.

  I work at Starbucks in the city, where UberEats and Doordash deliveries make up a signification source of revenue for the coffee chain. The store I work at is a big area of traffic and congestion for delivery drivers, and I’ve come to realize how much time is actually spent at these jobs just… waiting. Waiting, because too many orders have come through at the same time, because the driver arrived at the store only to find out that more orders had been added on to the queue, or simply waiting because the digital app is not infallible and frequently sends a delivery driver for a newly received order.

  So much time is spent actually waiting, time that is not accounted for under the delivery app wage considerations. Without a base pay, wait times contribute to below-minimum wages, even after tips. I strongly recommend that the City Council looks to data and testimony from workers about the truth of the disparity between expenses vs. compensation, reality vs. policy.

It is essential that we base it on time on delivery because it works for all of us. And it gives us the flexibility we need.
  I am a father of one with a full time job as a school Bus Driver I need to have a part time job so that I can make extra to be able to take care my family and with that I also need to be able to work around my full time job.

  Food delivery employees are an integral part of our city’s fabric. The restaurants cannot operate without them, and the customers don’t eat without them. Treating them as full-fledged employees gives them the respect and living wage they deserve, and also represents an important steps towards making employers accountable for the actions of their employees.
  And let’s stop pretending that they’re anything except employees (i.e., not “independent contractors”). Maybe now when the delivery people on e-bikes disregard traffic laws, ride recklessly and injure pedestrians, the restaurants that employ them can be held FULLY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE for the actions of their employees.

  Good afternoon everyone. My name is Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes, and I represent the 51st Assembly District of Sunset Park, Red Hook, and Bay Ridge. Today, I am commenting on this public hearing to express my strong continuing support for Los Deliveristas Unidos as they advocate for better laws around fair pay. I urge the DCWP to consider increasing expense rates by $5, phasing in higher minimum pay up to $28.82 in 2025, and monitor the implementation of these policies with the greatest care.

  In New York City, we are fortunate to have a higher minimum wage standard than the state, but even $15 is not enough to cover the rising living expenses in our city. Workers all over the city are feeling the weight of inflation as corporations continue to profit. Deliveristas do not even get the luxury of New York City minimum wage. For years, Deliveristas have been making approximately $7.09/hr.

  Not only that, these workers are forced to pay operating costs out-of-pocket for one of the most unsafe jobs in our city. The yearly costs associated with maintaining a delivery vehicle and protecting themselves against dangerous conditions is $16,664. Corporations employing these workers incur no responsibility for these costs or the safety of their workers. The myth of freedom fed to these workers by their employers is a complete fabrication. Deliveristas are locked into financial constraints, underpaid and required to make investments in their transportation to pay expenses.

  NYC should offer fair wages to protect the Deliveristas. LDU’s plan to increase wages is incremental, allowing for a progressive shift over time. Businesses will be able to adjust to the changes and ensure safety for valuable service. As a result, this plan will be at no cost to the city, but change the lives of over 60,000 workers. I urge you to please consider the requests of LDU and ensure fair protections for every worker in this city.

  I am submitting this comment on behalf of StreetsPAC, a political action committee and advocacy organization that promotes safe-streets policies and improved public transportation in New York City and New York State, and for which I serve as Executive Director.

  New York City’s 65,000 delivery workers are essential workers who keep the local economy humming while performing one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs in the city.

  They work long hours in all weather conditions, have to supply their own equipment (an e-bike can cost several thousand dollars, and unscrupulous vendors don’t hesitate to sell unsuspecting delivery workers bikes that are illegal to operate in New York City), face constant dangers from drivers of cars and trucks on streets that frequently do not offer any type of physical protection, and are regularly the victims of targeted robberies that too often turn violent or even deadly, all while earning, on average, pay that is far, far below the local minimum wage. Delivery workers kept their fellow New Yorkers fed and the city’s restaurants in business during the long pandemic lockdown, and continue to perform a vital and irreplaceable role in the city’s restaurant economy.

  At the same time, they work by and large at the whim of app companies that reap the vast majority of delivery-based profits while subjecting delivery workers to challenging and often impossible conditions in a clearly exploitative labor dynamic.

  We implore the DCWP to adopt a $28.82 minimum wage to ensure that the city’s delivery workers are fairly compensated for the vital role they play in New York City’s economy.

  As Council Member representing largely immigrant communities, many of my constituents have found work making deliveries since the pandemic. I applaud DCWP on announcing this historic minimum pay increase and am proud of how our City has supported these workers.

  Delivery workers face difficult conditions on the job and have to invest in expensive tools to keep them and others safe, including locks, GPS equipment and expensive batteries.

  I support delivery workers in their call for dignity and safety on the job. Deliveristas are asking for an increase of just $5 would go a long way to help cover these expenses and ensure safety and dignity for these workers.

  Sadly, I see how some of my colleagues are cowardly in favor of not having anything and continuing to work for tips and what the applications want you offer in order, being a deliverist is not agreeing with the well-being of the companies, being a deliverist is fighting Day by day for a better life, it means staying on your feet even when everything is down, it means not giving up when everyone is at home taking cover from the weather, not bending the knee to the boss’s threats, it means staying worthy of his ideals, it means embracing the hope of a better tomorrow and advance day by day towards a better morning, and for this and more I am with all my colleagues who seek a good for all, !!! Not only a minimum payment, but also decent treatment from companies that, even without a soul, turn to look the other way, when one of my brothers has been killed by assault, killed by a car, killed by violence or racial discrimination. , full support for the new rule and for more labor justice

  My name is Shekar Krishnan and I represent Council District 25 which include the neighborhoods of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst. My constituents include many of the 60,000 delivery drivers in our city who are fighting for a fair minimum wage. I was proud to be in support of Local Law 115 of 2021 which was passed by the City Council last year. This law mandated a study of a minimum pay rate for delivery workers which recognizes the dignity of their work. A fair minimum wage that covers the local costs of living is something all workers deserve and Deliveristas have waited far too long for their call to be met. Thus, I wanted to submit public comment urging three recommendations for the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to consider based off it’s recently published Minimum Pay rate study and proposal:

  DCWP should raise the expense rate by $5 from $2.26 to $7.26. This would include the expenses of Deliveristas that use registered mopeds as work tools, essential safety expenses such as GPS Trackers, and hazard pay. Given the fact that Deliveristas sometimes work during extreme weather conditions such as rain or snow storms, this increase in the expense rate will ensure .
  The minimum pay rate should be raised to $28.82 per hour with a phase-in approach of a minimum pay rate of $20.87 in 2023 and $24.25 in 2024 before reaching the full rate of $28.82 in 2025. Currently Deliveristas live paycheck to paycheck, making approximately $7.09 per hour with tips. This minimum pay rate ensures Deliveristas a wage their work deserves.
  DCWP should closely monitor and evaluate the implementation of the aggregate pay component of the proposed minimum pay rate. The proposed structure leaves the calculation of the on-call time to the discretion of the applications, which is expected to lead to a more efficient use of the waiting time. Careful monitoring of this part of the new policy is key to prevent negative impacts on workers’ pay and work hours.

  I want to thank the department for their hard work that went into the preparation of the study and proposal. We hope our comments will ensure that the Council’s intent of a fair minimum pay rate for Deliveristas is met.

  Respectfully submitted,

  Shekar Krishnan
  Council Member, District 25 – Elmhurst and Jackson Heights

  I feel that it will be a great opportunity for me and my family since we all do this serious work here, although I do not understand how the applications are going to happen to us, it is the cost of this to us, I hope it is not like that and everything improves and that depends on we

  Deliveristas across NYC have been braving extreme weather conditions – such as heatwaves, rain, snow storms, and even a hurricane for the past two years.

  App-based delivery work is one of the fastest-growing sectors of our economy and one of the deadliest jobs in New York City, as Deliveristas spend more than 10 hours a day navigating NYC streets. Deliveristas experience these statistics daily – as many are victims of fatalities, disabled, injured, or made unwell as they fulfill orders for the apps under unrealistic and dangerous expectations to arrive at the assigned location under any condition: rain, shine, extreme weather, like snowstorms, freezing rain, and even hurricanes. During those times, Deliveristas are essential for restaurants and small businesses as they deliver much-needed food and supplies to New Yorkers during those crucial times. At the same time, Deliveristas sustain restaurants and small businesses that would otherwise decrease sales as these weather conditions prevent people from leaving their homes. During these times, Deliveristas experience increased operating expenses as they need to acquire or replace equipment, such as lithium batteries and e-bike or moped motors, that get damaged during a snowstorm and freezing rain.

  Los Deliveristas de NYC se han enfrentado a condiciones climáticas extremas, como olas de calor, lluvia, tormentas de nieve e incluso un huracán durante los últimos dos años.

  El trabajo de entrega basado en aplicaciones es uno de los sectores de más rápido crecimiento de nuestra economía y uno de los trabajos más letales en la ciudad de Nueva York, ya que los Deliveristas pasan más de 10 horas al día recorriendo las calles de la ciudad de Nueva York. Los trabajadores experimentan estas estadísticas a diario, ya que muchos son víctimas de muertes, discapacitados, heridos o enfermos mientras cumplen los pedidos de las aplicaciones bajo expectativas poco realistas y peligrosas para llegar al lugar asignado bajo cualquier condición: lluvia, sol, clima extremo, como tormentas de nieve, lluvia helada e incluso huracanes. Durante esos tiempos, los Deliveristas son esenciales para los restaurantes y las pequeñas empresas, ya que entregan alimentos y suministros muy necesarios a los neoyorquinos durante esos momentos cruciales. Al mismo tiempo, los Deliveristas mantienen a los restaurantes y pequeños negocios que de otro modo disminuirían las ventas debido a que estas condiciones climáticas impiden que las personas salgan de sus hogares. Durante estos tiempos, los Deliveristas experimentan mayores gastos operativos ya que necesitan adquirir o reemplazar equipos, como baterías de litio y motores de bicicletas eléctricas o ciclomotores, que se dañan durante una tormenta de nieve y lluvia helada.

  From: Evan Finnerty, LDU Caseworker
  To: DCWP – Department of Consumer Affairs & Workers Protection
  RE: Deliveristas Minimum Pay Rule – Comments

  My name is Evan Finnerty, a caseworker for Los Deliveristas Unidos Division at WJP. As LDU’s caseworker, I have had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of workers for Doordash, Grubhub, Relay, and UberEats. I am here today to bring attention to the most frequent issues encountered among workers, and to highlight the need for minimum pay.

  Workers Safety – Accidents & Fatalities
  One of the most pressing issues facing app delivery workers is the markedly high rate of on-the-job injury compared to other industries, as mentioned in the DCWP’s report. Delivery workers in New York face dangerous travel conditions navigating roadways built for cars. The lack of functional infrastructure for safe transportation on e-bikes, fixed bikes, and mopeds within and between boroughs exposes Deliveristas to pronounced safety risks when traveling. These conditions exacerbate the frequency and severity of accidents while working delivery.

  This year alone, LDU has provided assistance accessing legal recourse to more than 25 delivery workers injured on the job. The injuries workers sustain vary in their severity, but one element remains consistent: these injuries, sustained while providing delivery services for multi-million dollar corporations, are treated out of pocket by workers making, on average, $7 an hour including tips.

  That is if they have received their wages.

  Wage Theft & Minimum Pay

  This brings me to the second most recurrent issue facing workers: nonpayment and wage theft. As an LDU caseworker, over the past 6 months, I have assisted to cover more than $30,000 in unpaid wages for Deliveristas. Some workers spend months in an endless cycle of communication with various representatives of their contracting company. Despite withholding payments to workers, Doordash for example allows for many workers to continue accessing their accounts to deliver for the company. Apparently, workers do not have the right to their wages, but they retain the right to have their labor exploited. Some Deliveristas accumulate thousands of dollars in unpaid wages during these periods. One Doordash worker has accumulated nearly $10,000 dollars since 2020 that has yet to be paid out. The common element appears to be a disregard for the workforce that has effectively built and fortified these delivery monopolies.

  Minimum pay signals a change in the way we value service workers in this industry. It shows that we as consumers understand the inherent risks they face, the lack of support available to them, and the ever-expanding costs of expenses associated with performing their jobs in the most professional and sustainable manner. Workers deserve to keep themselves afloat as carriers of corporations that have seen unprecedented growth and expansion during a time of a historic pandemic and a looming recession.

  Establishing a minimum pay for Delivery workers is a necessary step in addressing the shortcomings of the gig economy as it stands in the largest market for delivery in the US. Paying workers for all time spent engaged with their application gives the opportunity for the City of New York to provide an innovative solution to the challenges faced by delivery workers to help them make ends meet despite spending long hours engaged in dangerous work.

  I’d also like to address the fallacy that Dashing is flexible. Let’s be clear, it is necessary to schedule your work block in the area you wish to work unless you are considered a top dasher. Most workers are not. This insistence on flexibility for app workers in New York City does not account for the existing scheduling function in place.

  Los Deliveristas Unidos Historic Journey to Justice is Not Over…
  Los Deliveristas Unidos Rally & Advocate for Just Pay that Represents Their Working Conditions on NYC Streets

  Los Deliveristas Unidos Rally Advocate for Just Deliveristas Minimum Pay & Submits 3 Adjustments to the Proposed Rule

  A Deliveristas Just Minimum Pay $28.82 is A Win-Win for the NYC Economic

  NEW YORK – Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) made another step in their historic journey to seek justice for more than 65,000 app delivery workers in NYC. Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) /Worker’s Justice Project, NY City Council Members, and the community allies rallied on NYC streets and made their voices heard at DCWP’s Deliverista Minimum Pay public hearing.

  During the public hearing, Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) recognized and valued the most recent proposal of DCWP’s Deliveristas Minimum Pay Proposed Rule. At the same time, LDU urged DCWP to make three adjustments to the proposed rule. The adjustments are as follows:

  DCWP must consider increasing the expense rate by $5 – new minimum pay of $28.82, so this increased rate will reflect the expenses of Deliveristas that used register mopeds as work tools. In addition, LDU proposed increase will reflect the essential safety equipment expenses, such as GPS Trackers that Deliveristas use to keep themselves safe on NYC Streets.

  For years, Deliveristas have barely lived paycheck to paycheck, making approximately $7.09 per hour with tips. Deliveristas recommend that DCWP put much-needed money in the pockets of Deliveristas starting in 2023. LDU is recommending that DCWP establish the following pay breakdown:
  January 1, 2023 – $20.87 per hour
  April 1, 2023 – $20.87 per hour, adjusted for inflation
  April 1, 2024 – $24.25 per hour, adjusted for inflation
  April 1, 2025 – $28.82 per hour, adjusted for inflation

  Monitor & Enforcement – LDU recommends that DCWP closely monitor and evaluate the implementation of the aggregate pay component of the proposed minimum pay rule.

  Last month, the Department of Consumer and Workers Protections (DCWP) proposed to establish a Deliveristas Minimum Pay Proposed Rule, which is under the agency’s consideration.

  Los Deleveristas Unidos (LDU) recognized the initial proposed rule and research study value Deliveristas as hard-working, essential workers who helped New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only does DCWP listen to Deliveristas, but it also understands the workers’ reality – this rule establishes the basic work principle that Deliveristas should be paid an hourly rate for all the time they are working for the app. The proposed rule, Deliveristas will be paid from the time they are waiting at the restaurant for delivery through the time they spend making the delivery and taking it to the customer’s door. Currently, Deliveristas across the five boroughs keeps our city running, earning just $2 to $5 per delivery trip, which is less than a liveable minimum wage. All while being exposed to the most dangerous traffic crimes of our city – which has taken the lives of more than 25 Deliveristas in the past two years.

  At the same time, Los Deliveristas Unidos proposes that DCWP consider some adjustments to the proposed rule. So it represents all the Deliveristas surveyed during the research project, the current inflation cost, and the operating and safety expenses that Deliveristas have experienced in past months. See details below

  1st Adjustment: DCWP must consider increasing the expense rate by $5 – new minimum pay of $28.82, so this increased rate will reflect the expenses of Deliveristas that used register mopeds as work tools. In addition, LDU proposed increase will reflect the essential safety equipment expenses, such as GPS Trackers that Deliveristas use to keep themselves safe on NYC Streets.

  DCWP recognized that “Workers perform app deliveries using four main modes of transportation: mopeds, e-bikes, cars, and walking.” However, DCWP only based their “expense rate” calculations on Deliveristas that used e-bikes as work tools. In NYC, thousands of Deliveristas use mopeds (electric or gas) as their primary work tool, particularly in the Bronx and Queens, as they cover longer distances to make a delivery. Current DCWP’s expense rate doesn’t include distinct and mandatory expenses that Deliveristas with mopeds need to make monthly, like insurance payments, DMV inspection, and registration fees, oil changes, etc.

  Safety Equipment Expenses
  Being a Deliverista is one of the most dangerous jobs in NYC. Deliveristas’ working conditions became more precarious during the pandemic and continue today. Deliveristas suffer from workplace violence daily. Many of them confront unsafe streets and are victims of violent assaults, even at gunpoint, in an attempt to steal their e-bikes or mopeds, which are the primary tools of their work. Crime statistics from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) show that index crime in New York City increased in October 2022 by 5.9% compared with October 2021, driven mainly by an increase in grand larceny.

  For this reason, DCWP must consider including Deliveristas’ operations expenses that permit them to keep themselves safe at work, such as cameras and GPS tracker expenses. Deliverista invests a substantial portion of its income in safety equipment such as GPS Tracker units, cameras, and alarms to protect its work tools. This safety equipment requires Deliveristas to invest in a monthly or yearly recurring subscription, approximately $19.95 a month + taxes or more than $300 + taxes a year, for the satellite GPS signal and data to track their equipment.

  Hazard Pay
  App-based delivery work is one of the fastest-growing sectors of our economy and one of the deadliest jobs in New York City, as Deliveristas spend more than 10 hours a day navigating NYC streets. Deliveristas experience these statistics daily – as many are victims of fatalities, disabled, injured, or made unwell as they fulfill orders for the apps under unrealistic and dangerous expectations to arrive at the assigned location under any condition: rain, shine, extreme weather, like snowstorms, freezing rain and even hurricanes. During those times, Deliveristas are essential for restaurants and small businesses as they deliver much-needed food and supplies to New Yorkers during those crucial times. At the same time, Deliveristas sustain restaurants and small businesses that would otherwise have a decrease in sales as these weather conditions prevent people from leaving their homes. During these times, Deliveristas experience increased operating expenses as they need to acquire or replace equipment, such as lithium batteries and e-bike or moped motors, that get damaged during a snowstorm and freezing rain.

  2nd Adjustment: For years, Deliveristas have barely lived paycheck to paycheck, making approximately $7.09 per hour with tips. Deliveristas recommend that DCWP put much-needed money in the pockets of Deliveristas starting in 2023. LDU is recommending that DCWP establish the following pay breakdown:
  January 1, 2023 – $20.87 per hour
  April 1, 2023 – $20.87 per hour, adjusted for inflation
  April 1, 2024 – $24.25 per hour, adjusted for inflation
  April 1, 2025 – $28.82 per hour, adjusted for inflation

  NYC has recognized Deliveristas as heroes of the city during this COVID-19 global pandemic that devastated the global economy. Now on the verge of the city’s economic resurgence, the City has an opportunity to deliver a more equitable and inclusive economy for these workers. As independent contractors, Deliveristas’ operating costs have significantly increased as they navigate the challenges of inflation, and manage more costly operating expenses, such as rising gas prices and work equipment. LDU is advocating for DCWP to consider adjusting the Deliveritas Minimum Pay proposed rule and mandating the apps to pay a higher hourly rate to Deliveristas starting in 2023 and beyond.

  LDU acknowledges that pay adjustment will not reinvigorate the city’s economy in the short and long term. However, this pay will guarantee Deliveristas will be able to pay for each hour of their work and put the much-needed income directly in the pockets of working-class New Yorkers as the administration focuses on accelerating the city’s economic recovery. More money in Deliverista’s pocket is not only a game-changer for the workers and their families, but it will have a major economic impact in every neighborhood of NYC, as workers will be spending that money locally.

  Monitor & Enforcement – LDU recommends that DCWP closely monitor and evaluate the implementation of the aggregate pay component of the proposed minimum pay rule.

  The proposed structure leaves the calculation of the pay for on-call time to the discretion of the applications, which don’t provide much transparency on how this process is done. LDU recommends that DCWP increase enforcement efforts and careful monitoring of this part of the new policy are key to preventing negative impacts on workers’ pay and work hours.

  Journey to Justice – New Deliveristas for Labor Rights

  Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) is the most significant worker-led movement founded by delivery drivers that work for multiple app delivery platforms in NYC. Since 2020, LDU is fighting to build, establish, and defend new labor standards and rights that better the conditions for app delivery workers in NYC and beyond. LDU is a new organizing effort powered by the Worker’s Justice Project (WJP).

  LDU’s organizing efforts not only provide new energy in the labor movement, but it proposes a new LDU Blueprint where workers can transform the gig economy to care for their coworkers, their families, and their communities by organizing and setting new labor standards in the industry.

  As part of the LDU Blueprint, Los Deliveristas Unidos partnered with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer to announce the first-of-its-kind Street Deliverista HUB program for app delivery workers that uses existing infrastructure, like vacant city newsstands, to provide a place to rest and recharge. Through a $1 million federal grant secured by Senate Majority Leader Schumer in the upcoming appropriations bill for Worker’s Justice Project/Los Deliveristas Unidos, this pilot program will renovate and transform underutilized structures on city properties.

  LDU’s long journey to justice started as Deliveristas banded together throughout NYC streets as they served and fed New Yorkers and helped to sustain small businesses during the pandemic and developed during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 21, 2021 – Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) organized a historic march of more than 2,000 app delivery workers biking from Times Square to Foley Square to demand better wages and protections from the tech giants that run delivery app platforms.

  In September 2021, Los Deliveristas partnered with City Council Members Justin Brannan and Carlina Rivera and former City Council Members Brad Lander and former City Council member Carlos Menchaca to introduce the LDU bill package – NYC Delivered Justice to Los Deliveristas. LDU obtained a major labor victory in its journey to seek justice. The NYC Council overwhelmingly voted to approve a landmark bill package – NYC Delivered Justice to Los Deliveristas. These first-of-its-kind labor rights for NYC’s app delivery workers included minimum pay, Deliveristas’ right to establish the distance they want to travel, bathroom access, and other provisions.

  “Delivery workers were there for us in the middle of a pandemic when we needed them the most. They deserve more than just praise, they deserve common-sense workplace protections and a fair wage. The deliveristas movement is taking the lead in transforming this industry and a fair minimum pay standard is crucial for expanding the quality of life and greater dignity for all workers in our state and also across the country, especially in the era of the gig economy. That’s why I urge the City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protections to consider the substantial labor costs borne by app delivery workers and the overall benefit to “rebuild, renew, reinvent” the city’s economy in increasing these essential workers’ pay,“ said Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, US Representative,NY-14 (BX & Queens).

  “The Deliveristas minimum pay is a historic policy that will positively impact the lives of more than 60,000 workers who provide a vital service to our city. This worker-led movement has brought to the forefront the need for better wages and worker protections for this mostly immigrant sector. I stand in solidarity with the Deliveristas who deserve living wages, quality equipment, and safe working conditions,” said Council Member Carmen de la Rosa, Chair of the Committee on Civil Service and Labor.

  “DCWP continues to work alongside LDU to hear and address their concerns while working to support and sustain our economy,” said Chair of the Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection, Council Member Marjorie Velázquez. “We will continue to work with Commissioner Mayuga and the administration to identify a solution that works for everyone in the long-term.”

  “Deliveristas are essential to New York’s economy and work tirelessly to serve the City,“ said NYC Council Majority Whip Selvena Brooks-Powers, Chair of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. “Delivery workers often take on major risk, as they labor through severe weather conditions to get New Yorkers what they need. These workers deserve fair pay, which is why the Council passed legislation last year to support minimum wage standards for Deliveristas. I continue to stand with Los Deliveristas Unidos in their fight to fully guarantee fair minimum pay at a wage of $28.82 an hour.”

  “In addition to low pay, I can tell you DCWP’s proposed study will find that workers need employer funding for bike repairs and safety equipment, a compensation fund for workers injured or killed on the job, and much more. The big tech food delivery industry makes billions while the delivery workers make poverty wages. We are a city that supports workers, and we need to prove it to Deliveristas by giving them the rights they deserve,” said Council Member Gale A. Brewer.

  “Delivery is as essential to New York City as the subway, and in order for the industry and its workers to survive, we must recognize the risks they are forced to take so we can fight to ensure their safety, as well as the substantial out-of-pocket costs of being a Deliverista. From vehicle registration and standards for safe batteries, to health insurance and helmets – NYC is setting a precedent that delivery workers deserve workplace protections and a fair wage. This wage must also take into account the true risks and costs of doing this indispensable labor.“ – said 34th District Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez.

  “Delivery workers have long been the backbone of the New York City economy, but our city has historically all but turned a blind eye to their needs,” said Council Member Crystal Hudson. “The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection’s proposed rule comes close but ultimately falls short of executing the Council’s intent to give delivery workers basic wage protections. To ensure delivery workers no longer work paycheck to paycheck, we are calling on DCWP to amend the rule to raise the base wage and increase the expense rate to account for the true costs of the job. Delivery workers have helped millions of New Yorkers over the years by providing them with a hot meal at their doorstep. Now it’s time we step up for them.”
